Mid-century modern dining chairs reupholstered for a client in Altona, Melbourne. Minor frame repairs and new foam added, then re-covered in a fresh, textured fabric. A stylish transformation that preserved the chairs' original charm while modernising their look.



This dining chair reupholstery project was completed for a client in Altona, who wanted to revive a beautiful set of mid-century modern dining chairs. The original fabric had become worn and dated over the years, no longer fitting the clean, modern aesthetic of their home. Instead of replacing the chairs, they chose to invest in quality reupholstery - retaining the original charm while giving them a completely refreshed look. We carried out minor frame repairs and replaced the old foam with high-density upholstery foam to improve both comfort and durability. The chairs were then reupholstered in a fresh, textured fabric selected by the client, chosen to match the mid-century style and bring a subtle modern update to their dining space. The new fabric, along with precise craftsmanship, helped restore the chairs to their former elegance - while making them fit seamlessly into a contemporary Melbourne home.​​
