Abstract

See full text

A system and method for attaching upholstery to an article of furniture. The article of furniture includes a shell, such as a seat shell or a back shell, having an inner and outer surface. A molded lip extends longitudinally around the outer perimeter of the shell and a tongue extends laterally from the inner surface of the shell, just inside the molded lip. A first fastener strip, such as a hook fastener, is applied to the tongue so that it is facing the outer perimeter of the shell. A second fastener strip, such as a loop fastener, is attached to an outer hem of the upholstery. As a result, the first and second fastener strips can engage, thereby attaching the upholstery to the article of furniture. In addition, a cushion may be secured between the shell and the upholstery when the first and second fastener strips are engaged.
