The steel frame of a Barcelona-style lounge chair lasts a lifetime; the strapped cushions do not. Leather cracks along the welts, foam sinks at the front of the seat, and straps tear at the buttons. We make replacement seat and back cushions, and ottoman cushions, to your chair's measurements in Ultraleather and faux leather.
Quick answerReplacement cushions for Barcelona-style chairs: the short answer
You can replace Barcelona-style chair cushions with custom ones made to your frame. Fabrica Kraft makes the seat, back and ottoman cushions in Ultraleather or faux leather to within ±0.5″ of your measurements. Tufted or channel-stitched designs are quoted from photos.

What we make for Barcelona-style chairs
Why faux leather instead of leather
Ultraleather and quality faux leathers keep a smooth, even surface, wipe clean with soap and water, and do not dry out and crack the way aniline leather can near a sunny window. They also avoid the colour variation between hides, which matters when the seat and back sit side by side.
StrapsWhat about the straps?
The leather straps that hold cushions to a Barcelona-style frame are part of the frame, not the cushion. Measure the strap spacing and tell us; we make the cushion so it sits on your existing straps. If your straps are broken, have them repaired by an upholsterer before you order.
MeasuringHow to measure a Barcelona-style chair
Order in three steps
Measure the seat and back cushions separately, plus the frame opening, and photograph any tufting. Our measuring guide shows how.
Choose fabric and foam in the builder, or order a swatch first.
We cut to within ±0.5″ of your sizes and remake free if we miss. See our fit guarantee.
