Ultra Suede Retro Chair....

This old retro style Swivel Rocker has been transformed!
Using a ribbed Micro-fiber suede for the body and a solid longer cut Ultra Suede for the buttons and welt!


In 1970, Toray Industries scientist Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto invented the world's first microfiber. A few months later, his colleague Dr. Toyohiko Hikota succeeded in developing a process that would transform these microfibers into an amazing new fabric: Ultrasuede--an ultra-microfiber often used as a synthetic substitute for leather or suede. 
It's used in automobiles, interior furnishings and more. The composition of Ultrasuede ranges from 80% non-woven polyester and 20% non-fibrous polyurethane to 65% polyester and 35% polyurethane.

This is the little foot-stool that we upholstered to match the chair!
