Orange Peel Chair Restoration and reupholstery.

The Orange Peel Chair was designed to capture the organic beauty of a falling orange peel. Its unique, curved design makes it a true statement piece, can look great in any home, and it’s surprisingly comfortable, it tilts back.

We’ve had the pleasure of restoring and reupholstering several iconic Orange Peel Chairs from across the UK. Reupholstering this chair presents a unique challenge due to its unconventional design and curved cushion, but our master craftsman, Barry, expertly handles these with his care and precision. We recently completed one in suple Scottish hide, and the customer said it looked even better than new. Another example is below that was originally in vinyl and re reupholstered it in a velvet.

Designer chairs like this, especially when restored, can be worth some thousands of pounds. They not only retain their high value but also serve as a wonderful conversation piece and a comfortable chair that will last a lifetime.

Below are a couple of examples—one in velvet and one in Scottish hide, both orange in colour.

For this project, we replaced the original vinyl with the customer’s chosen velvet fabric, giving the chair a softer, more luxurious look and feel. The result is a beautiful blend of form and function—a true work of art that’s also a comfortable seat.

We received the chair and I have to say you did a wonderful job. It’s better than the photos. My husband was shocked at how good the chair looks. Thank you.
