Using innovative detailing and beautiful fabrics she upholsters unusual frames to create extraordinary and contemporary pieces. Each chair frame, chosen for its individuality and style, is sympathetically restored and reinterpreted by stripping it right back and carefully re-building it, layer by layer using modern or traditional methods. With an eye for the unusual and a meticulous attention to detail each project becomes a functional work of art: be it insects laser cut in felt nestled onto the back of chairs, Sultans’ heads digitally printed onto velvet or 450 miniature shell buttons hand sewn onto wool waffle you will be surprised and delighted by the twists given to each piece. www.pollygranville.com [email protected] 07723 326 524
