DUX Recliner
Fully refinished and reupholstered DUX recliner
The Challenge
This DUX recliner still had its original upholstery and latex foam fill when it came to us. Decades of use had deteriorated the interior components, and the client wanted to update the aesthetics while maintaining the chair's classic silhouette.
The Process
We completely stripped the chair down to the frame and replaced all of its interior straps with new Pirelli rubber straps. We then rebuilt it with new foam and padding to restore comfort and support. The wooden arms required special attention—we fully refinished them, carefully toning and lacquering to provide lasting durability.
The Result
The client chose a beautiful and durable cobalt blue wool for the main upholstery, complemented by a contrasting green tweed headrest with flecks of matching cobalt blue. This thoughtful color combination modernized the piece while respecting its mid-century heritage.
