Upholstery Material Details
Martha Stewart Living, September 2002
A sound frame is
key to the style and comfort of upholstered furniture. That's why
designers often counsel clients to resuscitate a sturdy but threadbare
piece. Although a chair's ultimate shape is dictated by the pitch of the
arms and curve of the back, you can choose from myriad upholstery
techniques and tailoring details to alter its silhouette and change its
look to suit a variety of decorating schemes.Entirely revamping an armchair -- a worn one in the living room or a flea-market find -- is not a do-it-yourself project for most of us; you'll want to work with an expert upholsterer. After stripping the dated coverings from a pair of old hardwood frames that we found at auction, New York City upholsterer Luther Quintana copied them to make a second pair from kiln-dried maple. Building on this same frame, Quintana produced four distinct styles, which are pictured here.
