I picked up a free chair with the general shape and three-cushion design of an Eames lounge chair (plus padded armrests), except that instead of a solid wood back, it's a white grid like this chair. My goal is to make new charcoal gray cushions with the cotton-synthetic blend upholstery-weight fabric and foam base. (I've bought these supplies.)Obviously, each cushion is a curved trapezoid. The cushions of the chair each had a small pocket on one side to basically hang them from the headrest, backrest, and seat. The chair came with ugly brown pleather cushions that I took apart and traced before tossing. Sadly, the filler was so destroyed that I couldn't trace the shape of it, and only have tracings of the fabric. It seems that the original cushions were boxed, but only two pieces of fabric were used: one piece makes up the top, front, and back faces; the other makes up the bottom, left, and right faces.I'm wondering if I should just trace the shape of each section of the chair base, cut foam, and then box a cover for it. An Eames chair doesn't have cushions at all, just direct upholstery, so I'm wondering if my method will look cheap or unique/ via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/301RC6y
