Design: painted chair

A Canadian client of mine, an interior decorator in Vancouver, British Columbia, had a comfortable wooden office chair which she thought needed livening up. She told me that she had been a puppeteer for a while, so I painted the chair with a pair of figures from Punch and Judy plays.


Here is a close up of the Punch and Judy chair seat,
and beneath you can see the original unfinished chair.
