My beautiful, bright, colourful funky stool made by Anna Sutherland for her Third Year Project.
I had to have this stool in my home and now after rearranging my loungeroom I have found the gorgeous stool called Ellie a home :)

llEXCITING TIMES!!!
My chair is finished! I am so pleased with how it looks, its so great to finally see my fabrics on a product. As one of my lecturers said “it makes them look grown up”.
I have to give a massive Thank You to Dream Design Furniture for all their assistance in making this possible :)
These designs were made from photographs of the tools I use for weaving which were manipulated on the computer. They were digitally printed from Spoonflower.
Now the chair is complete its now time to focus on finishing my weaving and other products I need to make :)

Pantone Leather Chair: Digitally Coloured Leather Upholstery
Like leather upholstery in your living room, but can’t stand the lack of fancy colors? That changes soon when the Pantone Printed Leather Chair and its ilk hit the market, combining the appeal and longevity of leather with a digitally-applied bevy of colors.
Adorned with the full Pantone color chart on its upholstery, the chair looks like the perfect furniture for living rooms and office lounges designed with a colorful motif. It’s a shame that it wasn’t for sale, as nearly every graphic designer in attendance at the show was reportedly salivating at the prospect of getting one for their office.

In Zoes words…
“…a place and a thing that with loving attention and good design, can be brought back to be something beautiful, desired and respected.”

Repurposing Chairs and Fabrics
An upholstery team recycles and reinvents discarded chairs and fabric scraps.
Being green comes naturally to Richard Pariello and Sharlott Lewis—they’ve been upcycling old chairs and fabric scraps for years.
The duo salvages unwanted and discarded chairs and recovers them in patchwork kaleidoscope patterns at Designs by Richard Pariello in Payson, Ariz.
“Richard’s sense of design and upholstery skills, and my patience and sewing skills come together to create our one-of-a-kind Kaleidochairs,” Lewis says of her and Pariello’s creations. “It’s a labor of love with all the time that goes into them.”
The two labor for 80 or 90 hours per chair, to be exact. Most of that time is spent sewing the fabric pieces together. Fabric scraps from previous projects and discarded samples from fabric stores are saved and pieced together in patterns inspired by quilt blocks. Each chair includes more than 100 fabrics sewn together, all topstitched, which adds to appearance and durability. The resulting custom-made, recycled fabric is then used to cover unwanted chairs Pariello and Lewis rework from wherever they can: thrift shops, curbs or third parties.
“A lot of the chairs are pretty bad,” Pariello says. “Some aren’t structurally good, but the foam rubber is good. Everything’s recycled.”
Pariello and Lewis both enjoy working on the Kaleidochairs for the love of the trade and to make good use of materials unwanted by others.
“We’re pleased to know that these chairs have another chance to be enjoyed,” they say. “We’ve been green since before it became necessary.”
