Furniture: Graphic Grain Sack Upholstery
From Julie
It's not an especially new idea, but it's a good idea: Upholstering furniture in vintage rugged hemp grain sacks, for a rustic and unfussy vibe.

I worked for Otto Design in the '90s. We did a lot of interiors for Urban Outfitters and Anthropology stores. One of the things we did was to use rice sacks for lamp shade covers and pillow covers. I really like the wing chair in coffee sacks. It's sometimes difficult to find these things.
