Hermes Chair

Horsehair, calico, silk knickers, silk hermes scarves

The Hermes chair imagines a down at heel aristocrat in her faded Paris apartment. Her worn out furniture requires repairing, but with no money to pay an upholsterer she attempts her own repairs using whatever material is at hand, stuffing and patching the chair with opulent items from her past.
