The folding chair



Friends of mine had bought this folding chair on a flea market in Paris. It was in desperate need of a new seat - the old one had lost its webbing and you risked getting trapped in a hole if you sat in it. The tricky part was removing the seat from the chair, I had to take the whole thing apart - only thanks to my Ikea experience I was able to put it back together... I stripped it back to the frame and gave it a new seat with strong webbing, bonded hair and cotton flock and covered it in a fabric that was similar to what the original fabric must have looked like 40 years ago.
