Chair cover

A chair cover for covering a chair, the chair cover comprising:

• a backrest cover for covering a backrest of the chair comprising:
• a front backrest panel and a rear backrest panel formed of or from a first fabric, and configured to cover a front middle section having a front centreline and to cover a rear middle section having a rear centreline of the backrest of the chair respectively;
• a plurality of second backrest panels formed of or from a second fabric different from the first fabric, joined together with at least one of the front backrest panel and the rear backrest panel, and configured to cover front edge sections, side sections and rear edge sections of the backrest of the chair surrounding the front middle section and the rear middle section;
• and
• at least one fastener disposed along an interface between two adjacent abutting panels of the plurality of second backrest panels and configured to releasably couple the two adjacent panels;
• and
• a seat base cover for covering a seat base of the chair comprising:
• a top seat base panel formed of or from a third fabric, and configured to cover a middle section having a centreline of the seat base of the chair, and
• a plurality of second seat base panels formed of or from a fourth fabric different from the third fabric, joined together with the top seat base panel, and configured to cover edge sections and side sections of the seat base of the chair surrounding the middle section,
• wherein the plurality of second backrest panels are configured to be stretched more than the front backrest panel and the rear backrest panel such that the backrest cover fits snugly around the edges of the backrest of the chair, and
• the plurality of second seat base panels are configured to be stretched more than the top seat base panel such that the seat base cover fits snugly around the edges of the seat base of the chair,
• wherein the second fabric has a lateral elasticity and a longitudinal elasticity that are different from each other and/or the lateral elasticity is greater than the longitudinal elasticity.

A method of manufacturing a chair cover for covering at least a part of a chair comprising steps of:

• providing at least one first panel formed of or from a first fabric, and configured to cover at least a front middle section having a centreline of the at least the part of the chair;
• providing a plurality of second panels formed of or from a second fabric different from the first fabric, and configured to cover front edge sections, side sections and rear edge sections of the at least the part of the chair surrounding the front middle section;
• joining the plurality of second panels together with the at least one first panel;
• and
• providing at least one fastener disposed along an interface between two adjacent abutting panels of the plurality of second panels, the at least one fastener configured to releasably couple the two adjacent panels,
• wherein the plurality of second panels are configured to be stretched more than the at least one first panel such that the chair cover fits snugly around the edges of the at least the part of the chair, and
• wherein the second fabric has a lateral elasticity and a longitudinal elasticity that are different from each other and/or the lateral elasticity is greater than the longitudinal elasticity.
