Before and After: From Waste to Beautiful Silk Screened Style

Advertisement

One of the things that I adore to vintage pieces of furniture is their high quality. There are used high quality materials, the work is done with responsibility and pleasure and the result is an exquisite piece which is very useful and beautiful at the same time for any house. The disadvantage is that they need some repairing and modifications in time as are not so good looking anymore as when they were new.

Thus you may transform chairs, armchairs or sofas into some beautiful pieces that can decorate your interiors and make you feel proud of your work and the fact that you have saved some precious pieces of furniture from waste. All these pieces will get a new image and will still continue to enchant our sights and be useful to us.

Kate Troyer, the founder of the textile design company Wippowillow and her colleague Shannon made a remarkable job with a massive wood chair and they saved it from waste and transformed it into a beautiful piece of furniture using a silk screened style. The original piece was kept while a modern textile tried to bring some contrast with its white background and the strong nuance of floral print. Their job consisted in taking a master upholstering class, silk screening the fabric and then finally putting all these things all back together.

The result of their work worth’s all the admiration and appreciation as they succeeded to create a new piece of furniture which can still be used and admired by the others.{found on designsponge}
