The 70´s SOVIET CHAIR restoration

This chair was produced in Soviet Estonia around 1970´s by Koperaator and sold all over the USSR. This was golden time for Soviet Union, when people dreamed about reaching the communism paradise and this mentality also reflects in the items from that period, which had more courageous design than in previous decades.
In this video I will restore this soviet chair and I will also show how to conserve the chairs fabric.

Ahti I like your sense of humor! I’m so glad someone realizes the value in saving these vintage and antique pieces of furniture. I miss the beautiful sofas of the 1950’s especially with pieces of wood trim!

Boris? In my country I am a pensioner. I like how in speaking or working with hands the sharing of life skill is confident. I wish I could have learned Russian back in late 1960's. Government stopped the High School classes because of Cold War. That was dumb. So I fixed things all my life. Call me a fixer. Anything, plane, machine, wood things. It pays enough and makes people feel good to see and receive the work and the thing that was fixed. Craftsmen... we are all needed. That's what best, to be older, needed and still doing. Awesome! Oh... great work, and cool chair! WE had almost identical back in school days.

[@shellydehart8217]

Wow, that was fascinating to watch Boris do his stuff. Especially watching him sew. That hole in the material was noticeable but after he got done with his touch of sewing you’d never known it was there. So happy he saved the paper under neath the chair. We must keep as much originality as possible. Thanks Boris for your great work. ♥️😊👍👍

[@francislematt7079]

When I was living in Estonia I saw loads of these in poor conditions, mostly due to being used in the garden, and the wood got wet around the feet or shower de-laminated the back board. In fact people have a habit of taking out indoor chairs to sit around the fire with friends and family and any old chairs you can find have some degree of water damage. I think this particular model is called Baleriin, pretty OK quality as a part of the series of mass-produced furniture from the era.

[@ATRestoration]

Good to know!

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

It might be a good idea to retrofit these chairs to be more moisture tolerant, as with a plastic dip or coating for the feet and good waterproofing on the back board, and a silicone treatment or solid vinyl for the cushion. Communist paradise forgot to plan in what real people wanted to do, lol. Capitalist paradise gave us cast resin outdoor chairs, or throw away easily rusting patio chairs. Neither one did it particularly well.

[@kusokk]

Another beautiful chair rescued! I love seeing the transformation. And I was also very glad you were able so save the original fabric, I really liked the design of that!

[@lesleythompson6801]

Once again, I'm gratified that you use as much of the original materials as possible; you even saved the labels! And when you were removing the fabric, I thought, 'That's not so bad, really.' So I was glad you restored that. Eventually it will need to be replaced, of course. I'm envious of these European and Soviet pieces you find. I'm in the US and so much old stuff is just gone, or in a different style.

More ... MORE ... MORE!!! I love this Channel. I have learned SO many things about chair and furniture restoration from AT Restoration. The long angle cut for fixing broken chair legs was a new idea for me. The Conservator's way of washing fragile upholstery is genius. I learned how to Re-Upholster furniture by watching my Mother as a very young child. Thank you for all the advice!

I always enjoy watching the precision you use to restore these pieces of furniture. Wool is a great fabric but I could see from the close ups that a lot of Soviet bottoms had sat on that seat over the years, wearing the material away; particularly near the edge! A great restoration nonetheless!
