Compact armchair from a suitcase
Unnecessary suitcases are a real find for creative peoplepeople who like to create original things with their own hands. Of course, such people will not even have any doubts about throwing away a broken suitcase. Of course, keep it! Or better yet, collect a couple more at flea markets, because you can make a lot of unusual interior items, for example, a chair from a suitcase! In order to make a chair or a soft chair, use an open suitcase. You can also make two poufs-ottomans from one suitcase, because for this you will only need one half - the lid or the bottom.
Before starting work, the old suitcase itself can betidy up and restore, fix the fasteners, paint the leather. But still, these scratches, cracks and breakages will give each “new old” piece of furniture a special vintage charm and individuality. In any case, the old suitcase must be cleaned of dirt and dust.
Attach a rigid strip around the bottom of the suitcase.a seat base made of MDF or chipboard. Then make soft cushions from a filler, such as foam rubber, covered with an interesting fabric or even leather. Then put the whole structure on legs purchased at a furniture store or cut from old chairs. Depending on the purpose of the new chair, use legs of the appropriate length. For example, if the chair is intended for a child in a children's room, then the legs should be shorter, and for adults who want to comfortably relax on such a soft chair, install longer legs. By the way, this type of creativity can become a profitable business, as, for example, for the decorator from South Africa Katie Thompson or the design duo Baconroll Handmade.
