A San Francisco boutique upholstery shop that goes by the name of Lotus Bleu has made quite an impression. This place is busy transforming vintage mid-century furniture and designer chairs with contemporary fabrics as you read this article. Most of the fabric used in this endeavor is French linen and cotton prints saved from an unnecessary landfill burial. The cloth is given a second life.

Jeannie Fraise is the designer-in-charge. She is personally in love with French art and architecture and so wants to use fine textiles in the patterns she likes the most. The result is an eclectic mix of vintage with contemporary with a green twist.

Lotus Bleu is situated in the heart of the Hayes Valley and has earned an impressive clientele. In fact the furniture can be delivered locally as well as nationally. And we must tell you that Jeannie makes it a point to travel from time to time to France and Southeast Asia to learn of new tens and use them in her upholstering, textiles, lighting and accessories that are traditional with a modern twist.
