Knit upholstery

McCord Works Posted on August 3, 2009 by Leisa McCordAugust 3, 2009

Melanie Porter knits chairs. Yep. According to her site, each chair is completely restored and reupholstered, and then covered with knit pieces. I’m sure, then, that she’s compensated for the natural stretchiness of knitting. I bet they’re fabulous in real … Continue reading →
