When an old chair gets a re-cover of 100% recyclable polyester felt, it becomes a marriage of high-fashion and eco-furniture. That and my heart beat goes pitter-patter. Isn’t she fabulous? Her name is Jenny.

Jenny, recently shown at SaloneSatellite in Milan, was created by young Swedish designer Fredrik Färg who presented a range of found chairs that he re-purposed with recycled felt coverings.

Jenny and Arthur (shown above) blend an elegant male/female combo. The fabric design was inspired by vintage tailoring.

Looks like Arthur has some competition in a face-off as Jenny waits to the side. Who will win her affections?

From the designer:

By using old chairs from flea markets and removing the backrest, replacing it with a new textile dress/structure of mouldable polyester felt, I am creating “slow fashion” furniture, giving the old chairs a new glance.

The project, according to the artist, “looks to the beauty of those shapes that never change.” Fredrik takes his inspiration from classic tailoring, such as suits and dinner jackets that never go out of style.  Fabulous.
