Vintage Furniture and Upholstery, restored Ercol originals and Ercol replacement cushions
I’ve never made replacement cushions for the Robin Day Slat chair before then like buses, 2 pairs come together! One customer chose the original wool fabric woven by the fabulous Mourne Textiles and the other chose a gorgeous grey wool from Bute fabrics, check them out………
Lockdown was hard but it did give us time to work on another project…..not quite upholstery but it has some similarities. Chairs Revived turned their hand to bike shed building, with a difference! Meet the Shedge :)
A pair of 1950s Robin Day Telechairs, designed in 1953 for Hille, UK. Restored and upholstered in a handwoven wool fabric by Mourne Textiles.
BV Studios opened the doors to the public over Easter in the annual open studios event. What a great weekend it was, so many talented artists and designer makers under one roof!
Ali Brown of Creativity Works worked with the residents of a dementia care home in Stockwood to create this memory sofa.
The fairly dull original sofa was brought back to life by Chairs Revived in material emblazoned with the residents' own art work. It contains beautiful and meaningful objects in its cleverly designed pockets, including photos, lavender and little toys. It also accommodates books relaying many of the stories that have been told by the residents. The sofa has a tactile element with buttons and velvet piping.

Chairs Revived Victorian Nursing Chair was chosen by 'The Times' to feature in the 'Get the look' section of the interiors supplement on Friday the 11th of May. This item is still for sale but they got the price wrong! It has been reduced to £420.... an absolute bargain!

Chairs Revived's 20th Century Armchair is featured on the shopping pages of ' Homes and Antiques' magazine, October issue. I have to say the chair looks even better in the flesh!
Chairs Revived latest range was showcased at the 'It's Darling!' Vintage and Artisan fair at Bath's Guildhall on Saturday.
Despite the miserable weather, the turn out was good, it was a great day and the new range was much admired. As was 3 month old Harry, the latest member of Chairs Revived who certainly seemed to draw in the crowds!
A particular favorite was the quirky 20th Century armchair upholstered in luxurious purple velvet adorned with stripy buttons and piping detailing.
