Transforming forgotten chairs into magnificent works of art.
The Artful Chair turns ordinary spaces into delightful sitting places
When you want your spaces to reflect what you love, but you can't find that special element that makes it sing.
This is what we do.
Add just one artistic chair to a room, and you immediately elevate your space. Stand out with something no one else has. Art that doubles as seating.
Meet the maker
Hi I’m Jenny Ellis
Creator & Maker of The Artful Chair
I started my business journey in 2013, and since then my chairs have graced many retail store fronts, have been used as fund raisers, have been in magazines, and I’m now in my largest venue to date,The Biltmore Estate, who sells them in several gift shops in Asheville, North Carolina. I create chairs, and sell them sometimes as fast as they are put out on social media. The reactions I get when people step into my retail studio are always smiles.
My custom designed chairs play a pivotal role in creating unique and personalized spaces. I infuse their personality and style in furniture, transforming it into a statement piece that reflects their individual taste. Whether it's bold and vibrant patterns, luxurious textures, or unconventional color combinations, my chairs offer endless possibilities for self-expression. By working closely with my clients and choosing from a wide range of fabrics, trims, and details, we can curate a space that truly represents your own distinct aesthetic. My Artful Chairs not only enhance the visual appeal of a room, but they also add comfort and functionality, ensuring that each chair is crafted to meet the ultimate standards in the upholstery industry.
In a world where mass-produced furniture dominates, my Artful Chairs offer a refreshing alternative, allowing a one-of-a-kind environment that embraces individuality, and makes a lasting impression on all who enter.
I'm taking it to the next level, and launching exciting online classes and sharing some of my best kept secrets, and most popular designs and designer applications. Check out my Artful Chair Classes that you can take in the comfort of your home, and learn at your own pace!
