One of the most common things I hear from clients is:
“I can’t find another sofa/armchair/chair as comfortable as this one.”

And I get it.

This Italian sofa was bought 21 years ago, and it is still in amazing condition. Beautifully made, comfortable, and absolutely worth keeping.

We made new removable covers in Italian outdoor fabric, giving it a fresh, practical second life.

And the embroidered floral cushions? They added a little colour, a little charm, and just enough warmth to make the whole sofa feel special again.

For many years this Italian-made armchair sat in its owner’s office, through long days, big decisions, and the everyday rhythm of running a business.

The old PU leather had completely given up, but the chair itself was far too well made to let it go.

Now the business has been sold, retirement has begun, and this much-loved chair has been restored for its next chapter at home.

A well-earned retirement for both the owner and the chair.

Some people love florals. Some people love a good geometric pattern.

My role is:
-making sure the flowers don’t end up upside down
-matching the geometric pattern wherever the chair allows it, and not missing the little chances when the pattern actually can line up.

Simple in theory. Slightly less simple on the chair 😄

This much-loved, comfortable armchair holds a very special place in one family member’s heart, so it deserved a fresh new life in a beautifully cosy fabric.

I also made a fresh new cover for the large sofa, its faithful companion.

Now their countryside home is ready for slow mornings, peaceful evenings, and those blissful moments when doing absolutely nothing feels exactly right.

I was surprised by how many people started covering their ottomans in this fabric as soon as it was released. Now I can see why.

It has such a lovely texture, the colour feels warm and cosy, and from an upholsterer’s point of view, it’s also a pleasure to work with, it shapes beautifully around all those curves.

My client said the colour and texture made the ottoman feel especially cosy, and I completely agree.

What do you think makes this fabric so popular?

Another set of four G Plan Fresco dining chairs.

A fabric that somehow understood the assignment twice:
perfect for mid-century furniture, and suspiciously perfect for Spring too.

Warm timber, fresh texture, and a chair that now looks ready for both a design magazine and a sunny afternoon.

Six hours on the road for one reupholstery job!

This beauty travelled three hours to get to my workshop, and right now it’s making the three-hour journey back home.

When a piece is truly well made and well loved, distance doesn’t really matter.

Was it worth the journey? 🤔

A rather dramatic transformation for the set of 4 of Louis van Os for Culemborg “Swing” dining chairs, 1950s.

It takes a certain amount of courage to take a beautiful piece of mid-century design… and cut it in half.

Luckily, my client had it 😄

The result? These ridiculously stylish, curvaceous little stools.

I simply added a pinch of upholstery magic, keeping every curve clean, every line sleek, and letting that fabulous new silhouette do the talking.
