WINNIPEG, MB:  At Mike Furniture Restoration, a locally owned and operated furniture repair and restoration business in Winnipeg, custom projects are a given.  That being said, one recent project has pushed the envelope a little further than usual: A vintage armchair upholstered using nothing but football jerseys.  Bright, bold, and offering the ideal opportunity to watch football in style, the one-of-a-kind chair is just the latest example of Mike’s meticulous and creative approach to furniture restoration.  

Mike Furniture Restoration was founded in 2015 by Mike, an experienced furniture restorer with a passion for breathing new life into old, tired furniture.  From projects that return classic pieces to their original condition to those that enhance or modify them in dynamic new ways, he enjoys working with everything from antiques, heirlooms, and vintage pieces to boat and RV furniture, commercial furniture, and more.  Wooden furniture repair is one of Mike’s areas of expertise as is upholstery, and he is always eager to learn about his clients’ visions and the stories and history that accompany each project he takes on.  

Taking on a project involving the use of football jerseys as upholstery fabric was a first for Mike, but a challenge he immediately welcomed.  The chair’s transformation was dramatic yet satisfying and he can’t help but smile when he looks at the finished outcome.  Combining vertical and horizontal strips of red, yellow, blue, and black jersey fabric, the chair pays unique homage to football fandom and offers a truly one-of-a-kind seating experience.  Mike is particularly pleased with the whimsical effect achieved by the arms of the chair, one of which is blue and the other red.  

“Our clients come to us because they know they’ll receive custom work that is precisely tailored to their needs and preferences,” said Mike.  “This chair is a perfect example of our attention to detail as well as the spirit of enjoyment we find in our work.”  

Mike Furniture Restoration is located in Winnipeg and is always welcoming new clients.
