Abstract

Fabric covered furniture comprises a form member having a straight edge portion contouring into a relatively curved edge portion with fabric covering the front surface and edges thereof. A drawstring is secured along the border of the fabric. A flange element is positioned on the rear surface of the form member adjacent the straight edge portion, the flange having a curvilinear surface projecting generally inwardly of the rear surface. The drawstring is secured over the curvilinear surface of the flange thereby pulling the fabric tightly in the area of the relatively straight edge portion of the form.
