Lounge & Armchair Reupholstery

Mid-century teak frames, club chairs and reading chairs recovered so the arms, back and seat share one pattern.

Arms, Back and Seat Cut as One Job

An armchair shows the work more than a dining seat does. Rolled arms, a tufted back or a curved mid-century shell each need different cutting. The pattern has to continue from the outside arm, across the back, and onto the seat.

Chairs that come into the Sunnynook workshop include mid-century teak and walnut frames, traditional club and wingback chairs, occasional accent chairs, fireside reading chairs, and inherited pieces people would rather keep than replace.

Springs in a lounge chair sometimes need re-tying or replacing. That is checked at the first look, and the quote includes it, so the price does not change after the old cover comes off. If the frame is tired beyond a sensible repair, Paul will say so.

If the chair sits on a rug that also needs an edge, both can be arranged in the same visit. See furniture reupholstery for the wider range.

Chairs the Workshop Takes

Mid-Century

Teak and walnut frames with geometric cloth, where the curve of the shell has to be respected.

Club & Wingback

Traditional lounge chairs with rolled arms, where the fabric has to turn cleanly over the shape.

Heirlooms

Inherited and vintage chairs assessed honestly before any money is spent on new cloth.

A few pictures of the frame, the arms and the worn seat are enough for a first opinion. Bring it in when you are ready for a firm quote.
