1. Bring furniture back to life vintage

The furniture craze vintage is not about to run out of steam. Caroline, trained in upholstery at the École des Métiers du Meuble de Montréal, and Guillaume, her partner, from Les Indiscrets, have a big weakness for the Mid-Century Modern style. They are served, because most of their restorations are vintage furniture. They nevertheless tackle any type of project with the same objective: to restore, revamp and recycle old furniture using quality materials and ensuring meticulous workmanship.

Two sisters passionate about decoration combine their respective talents to revamp chairs that are considered obsolete or out of fashion. Gathered through the Créations Chaisart project, their creations, colorful, whimsical and playful at will, are unique. The fabrics are new and of the highest quality. Customers can also bring their chair and choose the upholstery fabric from their inventory and the stains to recolor the wood. In the photo you can see the Lama Cossack model with a footstool. The wood has been repainted orange-red and the seat covered with orange velvet and an openwork ribbon of pompoms for the finish. An upgrade from Créations Chaisart, $750.
