Parker Knoll

The chair with original cover

This Parker Knoll, model #731, was in need of a new vibrant cover.

The seat pad was replaced and the stuffings at the top of the back were reshaped but otherwise the chair was in good condition.

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!
