Barber Chair

Muted teal upholstery and bright chrome give this barber’s chair a distinctive presence. From the curved seat to the cylindrical headrest, the finish brings a consistent look to a chair full of character.

Project overview

Piece: Classic barber’s chair with a chrome frame.

Upholstery: Coordinated seat, backrest, arm pads, headrest and leg support in muted teal.

Details to look for: Piping around the seat and back, seams following the cylindrical headrest and neatly fitted arm pads.

One colour ties the chair’s separate upholstered sections together. The tailored edges follow its distinctive shapes while leaving the chrome supports and original silhouette clearly visible.

The finished piece

Close-up views reveal the features that define the finish: piping follows the contours of the seat and backrest, seams trace the rounded headrest, and the upholstered arm pads sit neatly against their chrome supports.

Each section has its own shape, but the consistent colour and edging give the chair a cohesive appearance. The ribbed metal footrest and sculpted rear panel complement the clean upholstery.

The result is a barber’s chair with a calm colour palette and a strong visual identity. Its familiar silhouette and distinctive metalwork sit comfortably alongside the tailored upholstery—a practical piece of furniture with plenty of personality.
