DINING CHAIRS

All lined up in a row - 1960's vintage dining chairs by the designer Antonín Šuman seat and base re-cover in Romo Forenza velvet.

ART DECO BOUCLÉ

This chair was dark and unloved when it came to us.  Dark varnish covered all the wood and a deep red chenille fabric covered the rest.  

​

The wood was sanded to it's original colour and lacquered.  The chair upholstered in a textured bouclé fabric and a bolster cushion trimmed with a Villa Nova lattice trim.

TUB CHAIR

This tub chair frame has been re-upholstered in a Linwood bouclé fabric and given a new set of hand made turned legs.  
Here it is pictured with a drum stool also upholstered with a complimentary woven Linwood fabric.

PINK VELVET

This chair came to us blue and left us in a gorgeous soft Linwood blush pink velvet.

BERGÈRE

This chair is a twin and together, the pair are a particular favourite of ours!


Bergère style with closed panels of Linwood Elba linen between the arms and seat.  These chairs have professionally restored decorative cane work on the back.

​

Bolster cushions also in Elba linen and a Villa Nova trim finish the pair beautifully.

ERCOL

This Ercol Windsor Easy chair in blonde wood had been handed down to our client and was part of a set of 3 Ercol chairs, each one different in form and wood.

​

We removed the old and heavily patterned fabric, provided new seat and back inners and re-covered using a textured weave Romo fabric in soft grey.  

​

See below for the second chair, a high back Evergreen Ercol chair covered in the same fabric to create cohesion.

ERCOL

The second Ercol chair of the set was a high back Evergreen frame.


This iconic chair was re-webbed with Pirelli webbing and the wood of the arms restored after years of use had worn away the colour and lacquer. 

​

Re-covered in the same Romo fabric, the result was incredible.

ERCOL CLOISTER CHAIR

Ercol chair number 3 of the set was a very ornate and grand cloister chair.  


A moulded buttoned back, cushioned wings and arms, will envelope whomever sits on it in a warm hug.

BACK TO BASICS

This sofa transformation was one of our most adventurous, from 1980's padded cream leather to a sleek Romo woven fabric and complimentary cushions.

BLUE BOUCLÉ

This sofa was part of a 3 piece suite and came to us in a well loved leather, returning home in blue bouclé.

SOFA IN ROMO

Many of our clients have furniture they have used and loved for decades, this sofa was the perfect example of this.


Over 20 years old, the frame was solid and ready for new clothes. Soft textured woven fabric from Romo brought the style of the sofa forward and prolonged its use for decades to come.

LINWOOD CARNIVAL SOFA

A solid frame was the perfect foundation for this sofa. Originally designed for the use of loose covers, we completely reupholstered the piece using fixed modern upholstery with Linwood Carnival fabric.

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

This chair arrived in aubergine and left with a soft leaf Clarke & Clarke fabric and sanded, waxed original legs.

FAMILY HEIRLOOM

This piece had been with the same family for decades.


Raspberry pink Linwood Juno fabric transported the buttoned occasion chair into a talking point within our client's home.
