This started out as a sad story. Ten years ago my team and I did the original upholstery on these booths at Galloway’s (my friend’s art deco cocktail bar in Fairhaven). The vinyl that was all the rage back then has proven to be the actual worst and it began peeling and flaking after just a handful of years. We redid the seats about 3 years ago but the backs just got sadder and sadder. I managed to convince all parties involved to try a dark, nubby, performance fabric on the backs and I couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. Thankful for my assistant Owen who helped speed the project along. Just a smidge more to do and the whole place will feel refreshed!
