THE gossip phone CHAIR

LEATHER & WOOD WORK

IGossip Chairs,’ aka phone benches, were originally designed for hallways—a cozy spot to sit and chat on the phone.

This 1960s Parker-style phone bench includes a cushioned seat, a handy drawer, and an open shelf for storage.

🔹 Repainted the vinyl seat in a rich burgundy
🔹 Sanded and stained the wood in a deeper teak brown
🔹 Added a funky doorknob for a unique twist
🔹 Hand-painted art deco shapes on top for that extra pop of personality

I was on the lookout for one of these beauties to restore, and I’m thrilled to finally share the results!
