These couture chair covers from Farg & Blanche are a great way to spruce up old chairs and add a pop of color to your living space. The 'F-A-B' collection was unveiled recently at The Stockholm Furniture Fair 2013. The Swedish designers say the covers were inspired by the fashion industry and the notion that the chairs are "nude" and can be "dressed in garments" to transform their image.
The making of the couture chair covers or "dresses" are treated as any couture dress would be and are hand-made in the company's design studio. With their bright colors and clean black lines, I think these pieces look like they have been inspired by Piet Mondrains color blocking art. The 'F-A-B' chair covers are specifically designed to fit the chairs pictured, which are also available from Farg & Blanche.
