Fit For A King

A pivotal member of FBR’s DIY team, Juliana O’Byrne (under the moniker Fit For A King) has been working hard all month long to bring one-of-a-kind armchairs to the RE-Gallery.  This beautiful piece was once a frumpy office chair; Juliana reupholstered it with a plush grey velvet and an unexpected batik piping.  She sanded down the woodwork to create a homey, worn-in feel using materials and fabric donated to FBR!  How exquisite!

Juliana identified this particular piece as a vintage Knoll chair (original tags attached!) whose upholstery was old and decaying.  She found some fun, funky woven material here at the Shop and totally redesigned the chair into a modern masterpiece perfect for your kitchen or office.  Be sure to stop by the RE-Gallery for exciting new pieces all the time!
