Couch deconstruction

I always wondered what a gutted couch would look like. My friend Andrew Martinez recently made a killer chair by deconstructing a big old stuffed on (see my article "under rusted stars" two issues back in Craft Magazine). So I dumpster dived a vintage round chair and began taking it a part. So far im pulling a lot of staples!! To be continued.....

I picked a gorgeous Eames-like chair off the curb last week. Only problem was that the leather was a bit stinky. Is your chair stinky?

nope not stinky at all cornelia. and this one's probably from the 1960s. but in NM there's no moisture, it's very dry. i bet that's why. love your blog by the way!

Hey, thanks! Maybe I should bring my chair with me to NM to dry out - keep me on the pre-reservation list, I'll be one of your first guests! :)
