Bentwood Chair

The original seat

A new cover to fit in with new decor was wanted for this modern Bentwood Chair.

The chair was manufactured by TON, the Czech heir to the legacy of bentwood innovator Michael Thonet, who established a furniture factory in 1861 and still bending wood!

The way the upholstery was held in place again surprised, showing the innovative ideas applied to modern furniture.

Modern Parker Knoll

Parker Knoll still continues to make excellent furniture in England after 150 years. We have documented the restoration of an older model, the PK708, and recovering of another older model, the PK988.

Chair on arrival

Here we have a much more modern Parker Knoll winged armchair. A new cover was wanted even though the original was still in good shape.

The modern build gives rise to many changes of materials used and construction methods – lots to learn!
