Slipcovered Chair: Measuring for yardage. An approximate method for finding the yardage of material required for a slipcovered chair with a back not over 33 inches in width using 36-inch material uses measurements taken as follows. Place the end of a string on the Floor at the back of the chair, carry it up the back, over the top, down to the seat, and down to the floor. Do the same from the seat over each arm and down to the floor. Measure around each cushion. Add 12 inches for tucking into the crevices if required, and 2 inches for each hem. If the pattern is large and requires centering on the back and seat, add one repeat of the pattern. Add all these figures together. For a 6-foot sofa, take the measurement twice from the Floor over the back and seat and down to the floor. When 50-inch material is used, deduct 20 per cent from these measurements.

Do the same from the seat over each arm and down to the floor. Measure around each cushion. Add 12 inches for tucking into the crevices if re-
quired, and 2 inches for each hem. If the pattern is large and requires centering on the back and seat, add one repeat of the pattern. Add all these figures together.

Measurements for upholstery may be taken in the same manner, alŽthough the kick-plait or flounce is usually omitted. Leather supply houses recommend an order of 125 square feet of leather for a 6-foot Sofa and 55 square feet for a large leather chair; these figures allow for the cusŽtomary 25 per cent wastage in cutting and fitting.See Also Arup To Chair Council:David Scott of Arup to Chair Council on Tall Buildings

This material recharges in daylight and glows in the dark.
Thus the new glowing plasma become chair Žman has a decorative, sculptural, almost magical effect in the evening - besides being comfortable sit in.
