New Old Chairs

Who doesn’t recognise the old wooden kitchen chairs? Big chance you have seen them in thrift shops, at your grandparents place or even have them in your own home. They may look outdated but are still comfortable. Simone Post explored ways of giving these loyal roommates a new lease of life. Why, after all, make a new one when there are already so many chairs? Simone examined what is needed to consider them new once more and worked out a universal treatment, applicable to every wooden chair. This gives the chairs a new and unique look while accentuating its existing character, with a glimpse of its past still shining through. The added benefit is that even a collection of chairs with a variety of designs and shapes can make a strong and consolidated formation by this makeover, with the string wrap pattern and luxurious patina providing the connecting factor.
