Hi all,

I just picked up a vintage Knoll Bertoia Wide Diamond Chair. I love everything about it... except the orange seat cover. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for original colors and original pieces, but the orange just does not go with the decor in my apartment.

I'd really like to dye this cover and make it black. However, I've done a lot of research and haven't come across anyone who has attempted to do this. (Maybe that's a sign?)

In any case, I was wondering if its possible. Anybody have info on this?

Thanks in advance.

Frank

Contraindicated.
Heat from the dying process will kill the adhesive that holds the fabric to the foam. The foam itself may melt. If your cover's wool, it will shrink; if it's a wool blend, it'll shrink unevenly.
You just missed the Knoll 15% off sale, but there'll be another one in six months...
