I ... I began my career at Knolls over 35 years ago. I upholstered many of these chairs years ago. the leather or fabric depending on the type you have will be sewed to a heavy black extrusion that is forced into a grove that runs all the way around the inner rim of the chair. To remove the cover you must start at the very lower front of the cushion . There you will find a seam in the extrusion. In order to have any luck in separating the upholstery from the rim without ruining the extrusion you must absolutely use a type of silicone liquid or spray to wet the area of the extrusion that was forced into the rim when originally assembled. After doing this carefully force a needle nose pliers into and thru the extrusion at the seam of the extrusion. Clamp the pliers onto the extrusion. Very carefully use upwards pressure this will take a considerable amount of force. The extrusion was difficult to remove when new and at times it would rip. Remember the extrusion is now very old and may be brittle. I believe you have a good chance of succeeding if you are very patient. Silicone must be used to assist and lubricate the entry point of the extrusion into the rim. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3519612036484522249.post-57195555443024383332015-07-21T12:43:42.223-07:002015-07-21T12:43:42.223-07:00This might be old news considering the age of the ...This might be old news considering the age of the newest post on this blog, but I just picked up a set of Jax / Jacks in a raw iron finish from Target online of all places.
