First I want to apologize to have been far away from my blog and from you *.
I was very busy and very worried by several things
I'm coming back to you with my "upholstery posts" .
I'm coming back with modern upholstery and one of my Dad's creation
Indeed 25 years ago , my dad designed and upholstered this sofa for a special order for a big living room
here is the sofa with its old fabric , do you want to see it now ???
Here it is
detail of the sofa with its new black fabric
Have I told you it was an arched shape ?
You are going to wonderring if it is a modern sculpture ...It is not , it is an artful work
a part of this sofa is hand sewed by our little hands , there is no other way to make it
Here it is almost ready for a new life .
I have to tell you I love the design of this sofa ( well my dad made it , may be that's why) and I also love this fabric for me it is very timeless
*I want to let you know that I will answer to your nice emails and comments as soon as possible
Bravo Melanie's Papa!! You worked your magic on that amazing sofa!! Spectacular!

The couch is gorgeous, we can see the perfect dad's work on it, but may I dare say I don't like the fabric? you use to show us so beautiful fabrics, I am kind of disapointed with this one.

Even beyond this beautifully designed couch and fabric....and all the fantastic art deco fabrics you have shared and your new space!, I am so touched by the lovely relationship you share with your dad.
Very special!
