Knitsonya converted these old theater seats into works of art. Absolutely stunning, I want one for my house. I think it’ll fit nicely in as a reading chair.

I thought was last June when these came into my life. No. Turns out it was April. After living with them as a pile in the hall, shuffling them in and out of the under-the-stairs closet, they finally “are” - vision realized.

In a very it-takes-a-village fashion, several people were involved: The surly teenager, with great ingenuity, broke them down and hauled them to the car. My friend Kobi brought the fabric back from a trip to Finland. (I provided the address to the Marimekko outlet) Pasha serendipitously used upholstery batting as packing material when she mailed the loom. And finally Mr. Knitsonya helped put them back together again. (There was that brief 45 minute window today where I thought I had thrown away all the hardware) It was like some epic craft undertaking: Cast of thousands! Years in the making! But aren’t they gorgeous?
