comfy little side chair

I got this little chair awhile back and of course sliced open the back before remembering to take a photo or two!  I was just dying to know what padding it had originally because there sure wasn’t anything there when I got it.  (Turns out it was latex foam over jute webbing, and the foam had dried up and crumbled to dust, leaving some very slack fabric.)

I added new padding all over.  The back might be a little thicker than it was originally but it’s SO comfy now.

The original fabric was a beautiful ribbed wool epingle (tiny loops of wool in sculpted rows).  Unfortunately it was completely worn out in places or I would have considered reusing it somehow.  I hope I find some more someday.

I thought the chair might have been made in Sweden because it has the exact same interlocking coil springs as another Swedish chair I did recently.  But then I found this tag in German in the springs.  Maybe Swedish furniture makers used German-made springs?  I don’t know.

The new fabric is Knoll’s Classic Boucle in a soft red.
