Grain Sack Chairs

What is it about upholstering in old grain sack that's caused such a stir?

Maybe the rough, ancient surface is so unlike what we traditionally use for covering furniture.

Or, maybe it's the unexpected stripe.

Or, maybe it's the fact that NONE of these woven pieces are ever wide enough to do the job and force the upholsterer to become a magician.

In any case, our love for these old, hard-working textiles elevates them to the status of living room masterpieces that can hold their own next to an important painting, an elegant case piece or a hearty stone wall.
