Not your grandma’s chair !

Not your grandmother’s chair, Copenhagen 

I received this project as a family affair. This armchair which is an FDB Danish design chair, belonged to my husbands grandmother, and I wanted to incorporate the family connection inside. I pictured the grandmother sitting and knitting and enjoying the comfort. I made a pattern of the knitting in the foot stool and some knitted arms for the wooden armrests. 

Using both leather and the suede, I incorporated a zigzag stitch to connect the two. The foot stool is made from suede, and the foam that builds the shape is scraps from leftover projects.  This has a modern twist to the classic design with the thought of sustainability.
