Reloved Upholstery and Design

Reloved Upholstery and Design Repaired, Re-upholstered and Reloved Reloved Upholstery exists today because of love.

For years I have loved chairs, not purely on an aesthetic level but also for their silent, dependable functionality. I started Reloved Upholstery because of this love of chairs, fabric and interiors. The history of the chairs is part of the excitement of restoring and upholstering them ready to be reloved in a new home. When I strip-back a newly discovered piece, the chair reveals its history this

is always a great thrill for me. The signatures of master framebuilders, long lost curios such as dusty old sixpences or even hand-scrawled notes stuffed into the depths of the chair hint at where the piece has come from and I find this endlessly fascinating. I specialise in sourcing beautiful mid-century chairs from the likes of G-Plan, Greaves & Thomas and Parker Knoll, all of which are known for the their timeless design, quality of workmanship and robustness. A carefully curated library of fabrics from traditional to modern is available to my clients to choose the perfect finish for their design classic. Working with high quality materials like Harris Tweed means your soon-to-be-reloved chair will not only look beautiful but that it will last for years to come. My workshop is located in the inspiring surroundings of the Art Work project on the border of Salford and Manchester. Feel free to drop in and take the weight off your feet if you're in the area.

Hey vintage furniture lovers! Every Reloved restoration is one-of-one — never a copy, never “standard.”

A sofa is my mannequin, and the fabric is treated like a bespoke suit.
Every curve. Every seam. Every detail. Tailored, pinned, refined… until it sits perfectly.

And the finishing touch? A twin top stitch — clean, considered, and properly built to last. 🖤🪡

Tell me in the comments: what pulls you in first?
1. the seam lines
2. the fabric choice
3. the overall shape

Hey vintage chair lovers! Does this Reloved Greaves and Thomas chair have a smile?

I would like to say, ‘thanks for the overwhelming support for my issues at my studio, updates coming soon. In the meantime sending BIG love to you all 🫶

This is why i’m looking for a new studio space: because you can’t build beautiful work in a space that literally shakes.

For months i’ve raised the same issue — heavy vibration and relentless noise coming through the wall from next door — and the response has been silence, dismissal, and “what’s your problem?” No site visit. No one from management or the landlords has stood in my studio to feel what i feel. No solution. I asked for soundproofing in July 2025 and it was refused.

I’ve poured 7+ years into my studio at Pear Mill — it was my creative haven. My work relies on focus, precision, and calm… but instead i’m trying to work while the room judders. As a neurodivergent maker, these unpredictable bursts of noise and vibration don’t just “bother” me — they shut my brain down and make it impossible to do my projects.

If you can hear it like this on a phone recording for a reel… imagine trying to run a business in it.

Vintage lovers — comments of support and advice below would genuinely mean the world. A big creative thanks in advance x mentalhealthmatters

Hey vintage chair lovers! What do you think of these Reloved Lurashell?

These chairs are proper British space-age icons — moulded fibreglass shells from the late 1950s / swinging 60s, made by H. Wood in Ware, Hertfordshire, and widely associated with designer Walter S. Chenery. Sleek, futuristic, ridiculously comfortable… and yes, Lurashell seating famously appeared on the QE2.

These two were restored for a wonderful client and I’m honestly a bit obsessed with how they’ve come up — that Teal against the black shell is just perfection. Sculptural curves, serious presence, and ready for their next chapter.

This isn’t just seating – it’s a statement, a story, and a slice of design history.
