These reconditioned 60's oak chairs have been beautifully upholstered in a patchwork style, with bamboo silk embroidery detail, all by Starry Eve of Casamento.
Starry Eve works from Casamento's studio in Kommetjie, hunting out mid-century relics to renew, restore and re-create them into once-off accent pieces like these, using embroidery, tapestry, patchwork and crochet.
I've been seeing lots of other patchworky things around lately. Hella Jongerius's Polder sofa , and Squint's great patchwork chairs come to mind. Can you think of any others?

There's also a company called "Bokja", which is based in Beirut, Lebanon that makes some interesting patchwork pieces. They describe their collection as "Haute Bohemian", which sums their work up nicely - an eclectic mix of traditional Eastern patterns and colours juxtaposed with contemporary Western design.
You can check out their work at:
