Upholstery of armchairs of men's coats and greatcoats
Small studio from the UK Rescued RetroVintage literally saves antique furniture from old age and decrepitude, transforming armchairs, chairs and poufs into stunning interior items with the exquisite character of English aristocracy. The highlight of the transformation was the upholstery of the armchairs, made from men's wool coats, as well as military greatcoats of the Soviet Union. Sitting in a soft armchair by the fireplace with a cup of strong tea is a good English tradition. And often the armchairs were called just that - fireplace, as they stood next to the hearth. From constant exposure to heat, as well as occasional embers, the armchairs lost their original ceremonial appearance. It was precisely these traditional armchairs that the designers updated. To begin with, of course, the old upholstery was removed, the wooden base was repaired, painted and polished. Then the base was re-upholstered with modern fireproof materials.
How the upholstery of the chairs was usedEnglish wool and tweed coats and jackets of classic cut. The upholstery looks as if the coat was simply put on a chair. The collar, pockets, lapels and buttons are all in place! A scarf and handkerchief in the breast pocket can complement the strict appearance.
The traditional fabric pattern - checkered, ribbed, as well as calm classic colors give the new chair solid reliability, calmness and some kind of home comfort.
A special place in the series of coat chairs is occupied byarmchairs in the military uniform of the Soviet Union! A gray woolen overcoat with red lapels, stripes, branded buttons and enamel stars with the coat of arms looks very original and interesting as a cover! The question arises as to how comfortable it will be to sit on the buttons, but perhaps the authors of the project decided that acupressure of the butt and back would not hurt anyone!
The upholstery of the chairs is custom made, unique andunique. The price of one chair fluctuates between $1,500 and $3,000. And if you don’t know where to invest money in Ukraine, think about buying such unique chairs? Over time, the cost will certainly increase, because one product combines both antique furniture and an old costume! Source: http://biznet.kiev.ua/index.php?showforum=146
