A piece of furniture having an upstanding back or arm rest is made by first temporarily securing wire mesh to a frame, then plastically deforming and shaping the mesh on the frame to form the upstanding rest with a three-dimensional shape, and then applying to the shaped mesh a layer of glass-fiber web, soaking same with a hardenable resin, and curing the resin-soaked web until it hardens. At least one anchor is fixed to the cured resin-soaked web and at least one further layer of glass-fiber web is applied to the cured web, soaked with resin, and hardened until the anchors are securely fixed therein to form a free-form shell. The wire mesh is then stripped from the shell, which is trimmed and otherwise finished, padded, and covered. The covered shell is then secured by the anchors to a rigid base. The padded shell is covered with a fine hide having a thickness of at most about 1 mm. A layer at most 6 mm thick of fine padding is adhered to the inside surface of the hide before it is put over the padded shell. |
