Reupholstered Vintage Gio Ponti Armchairs

 

Happy April everyone! We are starting the month off right with a lovely pair of vintage Gio Ponti

armchairs reupholstered in a beautiful Jerry Pair Leather hair-on-hide leather. We think this set 

of chairs is perfect for spring with its mix of green colors, so lovely!

Reupholstered Vintage Gio Ponti Armchair

We had the great pleasure of working on another vintage Gio Ponti piece. Reupholstered in a Holly Hunt blue mohair for the inside and custom embroidered panels for the outside, this beautiful combination certainly makes for an intriguing and one-of-a-kind piece. We have each created our own meaning for the cranes on the outside; what are your thoughts on them? We would love to hear! 

Before & After: Pierre Paulin Ribbon Chair

It’s fun when we get to restore and reupholster a classic, like Pierre Paulin’s Ribbon Chair. It’s better when it’s multiplied!

Pierre Paulin designed the Ribbon Chair in 1966, and it was made in Holland by Artifort. It is considered one of the most comfortable chairs ever, with the contoured foam allowing the user to assume a variety of positions, all while providing the necessary support.

These poor chairs were in sad shape when we received them, having been used & loved for years, so we were thrilled to be able to breathe new life into these classics. The fabric used for the reupholstery was an original 100% wool fabric from the 1950's/1960's from Denmark. The bases were completely refinished as well.

Another example of this chair can be seen here.

"A chair should be more than simply functional. It should be friendly, fun and colorful." -Pierre Paulin

We couldn’t agree more Monsieur Paulin.
