Kathys Modern Chesterfield

Vintage 57 took on a commission for Kathy one of our Diploma Students of a modern chesterfield. The chesterfield was not buttoned & was covered in a very drab multi coloured 1980's woven fabric. Kathy completely "made over" the sofa by adding the deep buttoning & used a very tailored linen woolled mix from Linwood in a lovely flecked charcoal grey, what a transformation
