French armchairs , armchairs and their restoration are all the story of my life and of my family
I guess I choosed my job because I was seeing beautiful antique armchairs and I was seeing my dad giving a new life to them
It is still going on and on as my sister is also an upholsterer
if you want it to look con
if you want it to look contemporary
you can choose Missoni home for example
to look trendy , Missoni can be one of the solution

AS A "MAITRE ARTISAN D'ART " MY DAD WAS ASKED TO PRESENT ONE OF HIS REALISATION
HE DECIDED TO SHOW

I LOVE THE IDEA
Comme maitre artisan d'art dans la catégorie Tapissier en meubles , mon père doit exposer une de ses réalisations, il a choisi :
chaise régence d'époque ( ca 1720 )avec garniture piquée en plein , utilisation de crin uniquement avec un chiox traditionel re revêtement de cuir mais avec une couleur inhabituelle : rose
Cette chaise est visible , ce soir au sein de la maison Fouque , Aix en Provence
FOR ME IT IS THE PERFECT LITTLE ARMCHAIR FOR A PRINCESS
