London-based designer Charlotte Kingsnorth has upcycled a series of vintage and reclaimed chairs with fleshy biomorphic forms in different fabrics including velvet. Chair frames are either picked up by Kingsnorth or donated to the designer. The chairs are hand sculpted and stitched at her London studio, each one unique and informed by a mixture of instinct and the form of the chair frame. The cushioned additions remind me of the bulbous forms of Louise Bourgeois’s flesh-like sculptures.
