Club Chair Renovation in Basane Leather

Revive Your Club Chair with Our Artisanal Expertise

In our workshop, we breathe new life into club chairs made of basane leather, timeless icons of comfort and elegance. Over time, these unique pieces may lose their original splendor, but with our artisanal expertise, we restore their authenticity and charm. Discover the meticulous steps we take to revive your chair.

1. Stripping the Chair

We begin by completely stripping the chair to access its structure. This step requires great precision to preserve every original component.

• Removing nails and staples: Each nail and staple is carefully extracted to avoid damaging the frame or leather.
• Disassembling the leather: The removed leather serves as a pattern for the new pieces, ensuring faithful reproduction.
• Inspecting the stuffing: We examine the foam, horsehair, and other filling materials to determine whether they can be preserved or need replacement.

2. Repairs and Reinforcements

Once stripped, we analyze each part of the chair to identify necessary repairs.

• Wooden frame: Cracks and weakened areas are reinforced using traditional techniques. Specialized glues and clamps ensure stable and durable joints.
• Springs and straps: Damaged springs are replaced with high-quality equivalents, and worn-out straps are replaced to ensure optimal comfort.

3. Cleaning and Preparing the Frame

Before applying new upholstery, we thoroughly clean and prepare the chair’s frame.

• Deep cleaning: The wood is cleaned and treated to remove impurities and reveal its natural condition.
• Reinforcement: We strengthen key attachment points to ensure a robust and long-lasting base.

4. Installing New Upholstery

The comfort of the chair depends on high-quality upholstery, which we ensure is perfect.

• Foam installation: We use high-density foam for long-lasting comfort. Each piece is custom-fitted for a flawless finish.
• Restoring vegetable fiber: When the vegetable fiber is still usable, we rearrange it to preserve the chair’s original spirit. If needed, we add high-quality new vegetable fiber.

5. Applying New Leather

Basane leather is the signature of a club chair, and its application requires great expertise.

• Leather selection: We choose premium-quality basane leather, tanned using traditional methods.
• Custom dyeing: For a personalized finish, we apply a hand-dyeing process that respects the chair’s authenticity while meeting your expectations.
• Precise installation: The leather is stretched and fixed using staples and decorative nails that add a touch of elegance.

6. Finishing and Patina

The patina is the soul of a club chair, and we dedicate special care to its creation.

• Painting and dyeing: We work in thin layers to achieve a subtle and deep finish.
• Creating the patina: Using artisanal techniques, we craft a unique patina that gives the chair a warm, aged appearance.
• Protection: A specific wax or varnish is applied to ensure the leather’s durability.

7. Quality Control and Delivery

Before delivery, each chair undergoes rigorous quality control.

• Thorough inspection: We check every seam, fixation, and detail to ensure the chair is flawless.
• Comfort testing: Each chair is tested to guarantee optimal comfort and reliable stability.
