Re:cover chairs by Swedish designer Fredrik Färg are a series of re-used chairs upgraded with folded felt backrests. Fredrik removes the backs of old chairs collected from flea markets, and re-dresses each one with a textile structure made from recyclable polyester felt.
The chair design was influenced by the classic tailoring of garments such as suits and jackets. The felt backrests can be taken off and shaped into fashion accessories.
