I love it!! Amy butler has lovely fabric patterns. I think before the chair looked dated and drab. Kind of reminded me of a chair you would find in a laundry mat.

I saw the before photo and was scared to scroll down…. it was so beautiful before! I agree that the fabric choice is a little ‘day before yesterday’ but think it could have looked nicer as a pillow accent for the chair. I’m not afraid of pattern, just this one!

the big patterns and color on this chair are AWESOME! i would just be concerned of using a standard amy butler fabric for upholstry, you might consider an upholstry fabric for this application. Maharam and Knoll both have mid-century inspired fabrics that would be stunning on the chair, keeping your fab big pattern, but keeping more with the style of the chair and will last forever.

I had to come back to this and see the comments. “Mid century wet dream”..too funny. I do think the shape of the chair is it’s best asset and the redo diminishes this. Plus maybe I’m just a little “dark and moody.”
