Emma Phelps and Mauricio Varlotta from London-based design studio 20age have reupholstered this vintage Parker Knoll in yellow velvet cord and yellow and green checked cotton.

On the back, 20age attached 5000 Brazilian ribbons. These lucky ribbons are traditionally tied around the wrist, with a wish made for every knot, which will come true when by the time the ribbon falls off.

The British/Brazilian duo specialize in re-upholstering mid 20th century chairs with luxurious new fabrics. You can find their work here.
