The Artifort F588 Lounge Chair is one of Geoffrey D. Harcourt's most elegant lounge chair designs for Artifort. Its inviting curves, generous proportions and distinctive silhouette make it an outstanding piece of modern furniture. Even after decades of use, the F588 remains a valuable design classic that deserves expert restoration rather than replacement.
Professional reupholstery allows the chair to retain its original craftsmanship while receiving brand-new upholstery materials and renewed seating comfort. The result is a lounge chair that looks contemporary while maintaining the character that made it famous.
Preserve a genuine Artifort design classic
The Artifort F588 was built using high-quality materials and a durable frame that can last for generations. Instead of replacing a worn chair, reupholstery protects the original construction while restoring its visual appeal and everyday usability.
Keeping the authentic frame intact ensures that the lounge chair maintains its value as an original design piece while adapting beautifully to modern interiors.
When should an F588 be reupholstered?
Even premium furniture eventually shows signs of ageing. Upholstery fabrics become worn, leather naturally develops signs of use and internal materials slowly lose their resilience.
- Fabric has faded or become damaged.
- Leather has dried out or cracked.
- The seat no longer feels supportive.
- Seams have started to separate.
- The upholstery no longer suits your décor.
- Daily comfort has noticeably decreased.
Addressing these issues early helps preserve both the appearance and the structural integrity of the chair.
Luxury upholstery materials for every interior
The Artifort F588 can be upholstered in an extensive collection of premium furniture fabrics and luxury leather. From textured woven fabrics and elegant wool blends to soft velvet, bouclé and high-quality leather, every material creates a unique personality while respecting the chair's original proportions.
Whether you prefer a subtle neutral finish or a bold contemporary colour, the F588 can be customised to perfectly complement your interior.
Renew the comfort beneath the upholstery
Outstanding upholstery begins with a comfortable interior. During the restoration process, the foam padding, webbing and internal support materials are carefully inspected. Components that have deteriorated over time are replaced to restore the original seating experience.
This ensures the lounge chair feels as comfortable as it looks.
Precision craftsmanship for organic forms
The sculptural curves of the F588 demand highly skilled upholstery work. Every fabric panel and seam must follow the original design with precision to preserve the chair's flowing silhouette.
Experienced craftsmanship ensures the finished result reflects the exceptional quality associated with Artifort furniture.
Extend the lifespan of your designer furniture
Reupholstering an Artifort F588 Lounge Chair is a sustainable investment. By retaining the original frame and replacing only worn upholstery materials, the chair receives many additional years of life while reducing unnecessary waste.
Transform your Artifort F588 Lounge Chair
A newly upholstered F588 offers the perfect balance between classic design and contemporary style. Whether finished in luxurious leather or an exclusive upholstery fabric, the chair continues to provide elegance, comfort and lasting value, making it a centrepiece in any interior.
