Comment:
I adore your work! Have all your books!!
Love your use of bone in-laid chairs. Quite often you add seat cushions, are they down filled or do you use a simple filler?
How many inches in thickness do you recommend for such seat cushions?
Many thanks, Lisa

Vicente Responds:
Lisa, I usually make them about two inches thick. They’re usually filled with Kapok – an organic tree product – or horse hair, never down as it will flatten out when you sit on it. Whatever you use to fill the cushion needs a dense consistency. Your seating area should be brought up to 18″ seat height if it’s for dining.
