Orange Otter Giving preloved furniture a fresh design twist. Colourful furniture, watches, art and homeware. Colour makes me happy. Anniken x

Based in Godalming, I have a small workshop where I bring new life to preloved or discarded furniture. Sometimes for myself, sometimes to sell and other times as commissions. I like each piece to be unique, have character and inject a bit of colour. Mixing modern and vintage, clean lines and shabby makes it more interesting. And the occasional injection of flat-pack practicality is perfectly OK to

o. Life is too short to be surrounded by things you don't love, but there's no need to throw things out. If it's still fit for purpose, let's add a little creativity and see what happens. Thanks for visiting my page and if you like what you see, follow my journey or get in touch. Now, I think it might be time for a cuppa and a slice of cake.

Is it a stool? Is it a side table? Is it a plant stand? Whatever it is, the colour is popping!

The colour is a rich, vibrant blue called Ocean from Fusion's new Alchemy range. It's a chalk and lime paint, but I've sealed with a lacquer to keep the gorgeous rich colour sealed in.

Stool available on my website now.

Thank you for the sample pot 🫶

📣 Order now or forever hold your peace.

These super bright velvet colours are being discontinued, so if you've had your eye on these fab and funky cinema seats, please order now while I can still get hold of some of the last few meters remaining.

They were originally designed for the House of Upcycling area in Fabric at
2022. Then we took them to Design London in Greenwich along with some other bright and neon pieces. The Hidden 20% podcast hosted some famous bums on the bright green cinema seats they ordered from me. And plenty of you have them shining brightly in your homes. I am forever grateful for the joy they have brought.

But all good things come to an end, and it's time for the very last orders. DM, call or email me if you want in. ♥️💚

Do we love these colourful patterns? I think they would look stunning on a set of vintage cinema seats!

I treated myself to an outing this afternoon to .design at (actual Button House from Ghosts!!!) mainly to see my friend Lucy but also get out and be inspired by some beautiful fabrics. What a treat!

I fell quite hard for collection of velvets but spotted some beauts at and as well.

I'm putting some of these up on my website as part of my curated collection of fabric inspiration for cinema seats. Go have a browse. You might fall in love and want some of your own 😉

Colourful patterned fabrics on vintage cinema seats are a match made in maximalist heaven ✨️

When your childhood rocking chair needs a new look...

We all have something like this, don't we? A piece we've had for years, soaked in memories, we can never part with it. But it looks tatty and doesn't fit in, so it's tucked away on the landing or in the spare room. Every time you see it, it tugs at your heart, it makes you feel.

Let's get it out of the shadows and into the spotlight. A new look doesn't change its soul, it extends its story, another chapter, a new life, out in the light.

Get in touch if you have something tucked away that'd you'd love to bring back to life. It's what I'm here for.

Ooh la la ✨️

Exquisitely beautiful and elegant hand drawn cranes in flight gives this velvet by Tatie Lou a luxe Art Deco feel. The perfect pairing for our refurbished Art Deco cinema seats we think 🕊

With black metalwork, this pair combines vintage soul and Art Deco luxe with a contemporary twist.

We have a stock of old cinema seats ready to be refurbished and finished in the fabrics and finishes you choose. So if you'd like us to create some especially for you, to lift your space, please get in touch.

This has been a lesson in delayed gratification.✨️

I know you've been waiting impatiently to see the bar cabinet finished 😉 Well, here it is. Dark, luxe, with a touch of gold and lush floral velvet. It's a beauty and finally ready to head back home to London. What do you think?

I've been working on this for the last TWO months, not by choice, but because total transformations take time and care and patience. Proper prep, multiple coats of paint, carefully cutting and applying the delicate velvet, making frames with beading around the velvet panels, replacing baize, attaching new hardware, gold leafing details, sealing and protecting, then putting it all back together.

Was it all worth it? I think so.

Swipe to see the before.

And just like that, the G Plan drawers I painted are back home and settled in perfectly. My favourite part of this job is seeing the pieces i work on sit so beautifully in their space. Because most often, they have been refinished specifically for that space.

You don't get this on the high-street. Bespoke, made just for you and your home. And the best part - reusing furniture that we already have, rather than buying new and adding more to the discard pile.

This is conscious, sustainable, thoughtful living.
