Cleverly recycled upholstery
Keith's patchwork sofa
My friend Keith Armiger is an excellent upholsterer, and covered our club lounge a few years ago. I was telling him about an armchair I fell in love with at Stem in Balmain recently which was covered in antique Indian silks, and days after he was approached by a client who asked him to do the same for this three-seater sofa. I think he’s done a spectacular job – isn’t it great? I can just see it strewn with simple white cushions in a relaxed Sydney abode.
