Leather seat replacement for Frank Lloyd Wrights Barrel Chair

I recently bought a Frank Lloyd Wright Barrel Chair built in the late eighties. I didn’t care for the color of seat it came with so I built a new seat and had it upholstered by  Glenn Quezada he used the same piece of leather he upholstered the Sam Maloof recliner chair. 

Glenn worked with Sam Maloof, Thomas Moser and others to upholster their chairs. This was his first Frank Lloyd Wright chair. 
His company is called GQ Interiors. 

I came up with this build and headed to the upholsterer. 

Here’s what the original cushion looks like.

I saved the old cushion in case I sell the chair. It still has the old manufacturer label on it.

Glenn and I hit it off. He’s a great furniture builder and upholsterer.

Now the black leather on the seat matches the black leather on our living room furniture. 

I think I gave this chair new life but saved its original design. 

This chair was built by the Italian classic furniture company Cassina, a furniture maker who still holds the rights to make these chairs. 
Thanks for stopping by and viewing my project.
