An interesting Club Chair gets a makeover

This is a past project that I reupholstered earlier this winter.  It was an interesting chair and the stripes were fun.  We eliminated the weird and bulky pleating on the rear panel, which led to an interesting challenge for mirroring and matching the pleats while fitting the panel to the upper curve and the overall tapered base of the chair.



this is the original, very light blue light cotton/poly fabric.
from the side with the pleats
nothing but poly/dacron
kind of matches the shop

the curves and interaction of the top front arm fold led to a little warping of the stripe.
