Recycled furniture: Chair

This chair is part of a set of four stylish oak chairs which I traded for a recycled and refurbished chest of drawers. The bland looking wood was sanded and stained, the drop-in seats needed re-upholstering. I dyed and printed cotton canvas and gave it to Eve Kyle, an interior designer in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada. She did a great job fixing the seats and covering them with my fabric. Four chatty people might sit on four chairs around the table at a dinner party, so I called the chairs Conversation.

Oak, cotton canvas, Procyon fabric dye, Setacolor fabric paint. 2000.
