fredrik farg: recover chairs

re:cover – white collection at stockholm furniture fair 2010

‘re:cover chairs’ by swedish designer fredrik färg are bespoke dresses for old chairs. the project looks to the beauty of shapes whose aesthetic never goes out of style. färg was influenced by the classic tailoring of garments such as suits and jackets. collecting old chairs from flea markets, he removes their backrests, replacing them with a new textile structure indicative of a jacket collar and made from polyester felt.
