Mod 1960s High-Back Chair

A tall mid-century chair with crumbling 1960s foam, reupholstered in a bold geometric fabric.

Era
1960s
Materials
New foam, polyester batting, geometric tapestry fabric

Foam from the 1960s breaks down into crumbs, and this chair's original padding had done exactly that. Everything came off down to the plywood shell.

New foam and polyester batting restored the shape, and the chair was covered in a geometric tapestry fabric that suits its period.
