Oil Drum Chair Tall

Process

Process:

Each seat is finely hand crafted from an old oil barrel, commonly found in scrap yards or going rusty in mechanic’s yards.

By hand, each barrel is marked out and cut into whichever seat style we need. We get either two short seats, or one tall seat and an office chair from one standard 205 litre oil drum. Pretty neat right! (we don’t like waste…)

We then precisely roll steel rings to fit and weld them inside the drum to support the seat bases.

If you want the seat to be used indoor or outdoor, we decide whether or not to cut the original base out to help the water drain away. Additional fabrication requests are then met, castors, grab handles, design cutting, etc..

The shell of the seat is then ready to go off for powder coating to your desired colour.

Whilst that’s in for powder coat, we get started on the seat base, which starts life as a sheet wood, cut to fit the shell. Apply some premium upholstery foam, and get stitching with a fabric of your choice, usually reclaimed coffee sacks from Costa Rica or premium upholstery fabric.

The seat comes back to us and is fitted with it’s corresponding seat and edge trim, then sent out to the next happy customer (hopefully you..!).

Finishes

Colour:

These seats can be customised to any colour imaginable, whether it be British Racing Green, Ferrari Red, JCB Yellow or matt black. If you can find a colour code, it can be coated.

I’ll get in touch with you after to make sure we’re on the same page! (NB we have no responsibility for incorrect colours ordered, please be aware that computer/tablet displays will show colours differently, we have no control over powder coat finishes though we’ll do our best to help you out.)
