Steel cased in Missoni

| |

So my Steelcase reupholstered project has come to an end and I'm thrilled! It started in April with finding this steelcase vintage bench:



Meticulously considering all my options to find the right fabric and ultimately landing on this beautiful Kew Fabric from Amara.



The legs and frame were super rusted and worn, but that was fixed by simply scrubbing with a Homax Products Steel Wool Pad.

Here is a before and after:


I am so excited by how well this project turned out and how beautiful it looks.

Very nice transformation :) Did you get a new cushion or cover all three?

i got a new cushion...the other cushions were worn, there were some tears in the vinyl so i figured it needed to be replaced

This is just gorgeous! May I link this transformation to the style section of my blog, Espresso at Four?

Hi, what a lovely bench transformation! I was wondering if you also had the metal work refurbished? I have a similar era Steelcase unit and am looking for a local refurbisher. Thanks! Nancy
