Project: 1:6 Scale Art Deco Chair (Part 2)

I began this project some time back now, however, I couldn't finish it as I was waiting on some trim to come from Germany. The trim arrived whilst I was on holiday in Singapore, so it wasn't until I arrived home this week that I finally completed it.


The settee was made from a jewellery box (well it was actually a ring holder in the shape of a settee, which I purchased from AliExpress). It turned out much better than I thought it would.


To make the settee the right height, I cut a piece of wood to the same size as the settee base, glued it on before adding the trim and four jewellery box feet. Next I made a cushion for the seat, using gold brads for buttons, then some smaller cushions for the settee and chair,


This brought the settee to the same height as the chair and completed the overall look. The lighting from above makes the cushion & chair appear lighter than the trim, in actual fact the purple is a perfect match.

    It looks simply fantastic! I love the colours, and the trim is perfect! And I'm absolutely sure it's really comfy - with the cusions, you can even take a little afternoon nap :)

      Thank you Chiriann. I tried to make this set a little more luxurious than the one I recovered and will use it in an Art Deco room. I also made a mirror top table to go with it, but forgot to photograph it...still, you will see it later.

    They turned out so nicely! Great for furniture in a romantic comedy or film noir, if one is into period era films.

      Thank you Barb. I do like period films, but you have me wondering which romantic comedy or film noir were you thinking of 🤔.

      I wasn't thinking of anything specific. I've been watching a lot of old movies on YouTube, and some of the sets are beautiful.

      Thank you so much Niina. I am pleased with the way they turned out and now I just need to make a couple more pieces of furniture so I can finish decorating the Art Deco room.
