I redid this Overman sofa recently. I know Overman production shifted to the US at some point but this was made in Sweden.
The fabric is “Fleece” by Unika Vaev, which started out as a Danish company. The fabric is a reversible wool with bobbles of contrasting color wool in neat rows. It’s very soft and nubby and has plenty of give for those lovely curves.
As usual, I forgot to take a before photo before I ripped into it. It was covered in this vinyl with a nice pebbled cowhide look, but it had split in a few places and there’s no fixing that.
I like fabric on these better than vinyl anyway.
I think this chair is soft and durable.
Hi! Beautiful work on the Overman. I have one that I found in a dumpster – sans cushions. Could I by chance, purchase from you the pattern (if you patterned and saved) for the 3 you made here? I know there is a bit of “ease” to the top plate over the bottom plate (or vice versa) to make it pouf nicely…would appreciate this little step ahead. Thanks for a reply or call to my shop in Minneapolis at 612-729-1841
Sorry, I didn’t make a pattern. I cut the foam to match the original cushions and then pin fit the fabric to the foam.
Nice Overman sofa. I agree, it’s much better with fabric. I love Danish designs.
Hi,
How much fabric did you use for the whole sofa?
Sorry, I didn’t record that but it’s pretty easy to figure out by measuring.
Hi,
Me again… Just wondering if you replaced the foam on the sofa as well or just the cushions. I took the fabric off mine and only found “dust” pieces instead of any leftover foam. What kind of foam did you use if any?
Thanks so much!
