Reupholstered: Kroehler Lounge Chair



This mid-century chair has amazing lines but was in rough shape.  It was manufactured by Kroehler and designed by Avant Designs from the 1960s. It's original orange fabric was shredded and had that familiar musty smell. I found this newspaper clipping online from The Morning Record in Wallingford, Connecticut on September 24, 1965. The chairs listed are by Kroehler Avant Design, not the same chair here, but very similar lines. I love seeing these old ads! 


We picked out some amazing avocado green fabric and went right to work on it. It took a bit more work than anticipated, it is finally finished and we are looking to give it a good home.  SOLD.
