This chair came to us full of memories. The Danish owner’s father purchased the chair new in Denmark in the 1940’s and held his children in the chair for story time every night before bed. The owner had immigrated to the United States from Denmark and the chair came along as one of the prized possessions that could not be left behind. His father had recently passed and he wanted the chair restored so that he could carry on the tradition with his own children.

By request, the chair was restored in as close to the original leather as possible. A buttery soft cognac leather was chosen. After countless hours of remolding new foam, highly technical hand sewing, and polishing of the base, the chair was ready for many more lifetimes of memories.

It’s restorations like these that are a true pleasure.

We are always up to the task. Knoll fabric made for a pretty chair with all of the right details.
