This summer I completed my final furniture studio at California College of the Arts (CCA)-- the three-week "soft" class. Here are a few photos of the final prototype of my upholstered ottoman. It's only covered with muslin and has a rather awkward velcro closure in the back. Imagine it in a blue-grey wool felt with dark grey detail stitching and a nice zipper closure. (If your screen resolution is better than mine, maybe you can actually see the grey stitching on the muslin!)
It might just be the most conservative thing I made my whole time in the program. But, upholstery is hard enough without making a really crazy shape, which is why I kept my first attempt so straightforward. I met furniture designer Ted Boerner at the critique for this class, and am excited to be starting an internship with him in November.
