Visions in Svenskt Tenn & Zoffany for Nicola Holden Designs..

May & June were spent refurbishing and recovering a 2-seater Henderson Russell Balzac-style sofa, which involved replacing a broken front beam (and refitting the serpentine spring suspension system), with a piece of reclaimed oak, found at a local recycled timber merchants just down the road from my studio, along with an armchair, in Zoffany’s Romany Grey , a vanity stool in clients own fabric (unknown) and a set of 4 Mid-20th Century modern dining room chairs in Svenskt Tenn “Celotocaulis” , designed by Josef frank in the 1920’s, and a late 20th century rocking chair in Svenskt Tenn “Elefant“, designed by Estrid Ericsson. All for a lovely home in Ealing, west London on behalf of Nicola Holden Designs.

Working Wonders for Woh& Co

Earlier this year I was commissioned to recover three different styles of chairs in House of Hackney‘s best selling

Palmeral fabric for super talented Mexican designer Valentina Gonzalez Wohlers 

Valentina came to my studio just with her signature V’s Rocker , a vintage Verco office chair ,which Valentina found in pieces dumped on the street near her studio,

and a Lloyd-Loom  style conservatory chair

It took a while for me to come up with all three pieces ( I had a lot on!) but I think

they all came out beautifully . It was a pleasure to see them, and Valentina on show and in use at her new studio at the Bow Arts open studio event in June.
