Collection VI · Upholstery
Conservation work, quietly done
Furniture,
reimagined.
From frame restoration to full bespoke builds — every piece is rebuilt for comfort, proportion and the room it is returning to. Fabric, leather and stitch all chosen with intention.
i · The intent
A piece of furniture is often worth more after it has been properly understood.
We begin with the frame, not the fabric. Upholstery is a slow conservation — stripping the piece back to what remains true, repairing only what honesty requires, then rebuilding with the right weight of cloth, leather, foam, webbing and stitch. Sometimes the piece returns to itself; sometimes it becomes the room's new centre of gravity. Twelve registers follow — from restored club leather to bespoke bouclé forms drawn from the architecture around them.
“The best upholstered piece feels inevitable in the room, as though it had always been waiting to become itself.”
i.
Sofas & Sectionals
Full reupholstery and bespoke sofa builds — classical frames restored, contemporary silhouettes softened, sectionals remapped for the way a room is actually lived in. Cushion balance, seat depth and stitching all tuned to the brief.
“A sofa is the room's longest conversation with the body.”
Discuss this pieceii.
Dining Chairs
Dining and occasional chairs recovered in velvet, linen, leather and performance fabrics — stitched, padded and balanced so they read beautifully at rest and remain comfortable through the length of a meal.
“A dining chair should feel tailored, not merely covered.”
Discuss this pieceiii.
Headboards
Wall-mounted and freestanding headboards upholstered in velvet, bouclé, leather and linen — drawn to the width of the room rather than the bed alone. Vertical channels, plain tailored panels and softly curved silhouettes available.
“A headboard is the quiet architecture behind sleep.”
Discuss this pieceiv.
Lounge & Accent Chairs
Wingbacks, slipper chairs, club chairs and sculptural accent pieces brought back to their frame and rebuilt honestly from within. Webbing, springs and padding replaced only where renewal is earned.
“A chair restored properly carries its history without wearing its age.”
Discuss this piecev.
Ottomans & Benches
Window seats, foot benches, bedroom ottomans and low sculptural poufs upholstered with the same discipline as the larger pieces. Often the quietest object in the room, and one of the most used.
“The small upholstered piece is where finishing becomes visible.”
Discuss this piecevi.
Outdoor Upholstery
Performance fabrics, marine foams and weather-ready construction for terraces, pool lounges and sea-facing balconies. Built for sun, moisture and salt, but still resolved with the same restraint as an interior piece.
“Outdoor upholstery must survive the climate without looking designed for survival.”
Discuss this piecevii.
Banquettes & Built-In Seating
Breakfast nooks, dining banquettes, boutique café seating and custom built-ins — shaped to the room, scaled to the table and stitched to remain visually taut across long runs of upholstery.
“Built-in seating succeeds when it reads as architecture first and furniture second.”
Discuss this pieceviii.
Yacht & Marine Upholstery
Curved marine seating in specialist leather and exterior-grade textiles, patterned and stitched for unusual hull geometries and the practical realities of life at sea. Moisture, light and movement all accounted for.
“Marine upholstery is where tailoring meets engineering.”
Discuss this pieceix.
Hotel & Contract Upholstery
IFR velvets, performance linens and heavy-duty leathers specified for lobby seating, suite furniture and repeat-room programmes. Mock-ups, maintenance realities and live-site timing all built into the process.
“Contract upholstery must endure public life without losing private elegance.”
Discuss this piecex.
Leather Upholstery
Full-grain, nubuck and saddle leathers selected for grain character, hand and the way they will patina under use. Best used where touch matters — club chairs, armchairs, reading seats and statement pieces.
“Good leather records use as gracefully as timber records light.”
Discuss this piecexi.
Bouclé & Velvet Pieces
The most atmospheric upholstery fabrics in the atelier — undyed bouclé, brushed mohair, matte cotton velvet and silk-velvet blends. Reserved for the pieces that should anchor the room visually and materially.
“Certain fabrics do not enter a room — they settle it.”
Discuss this piecexii.
Custom Upholstery
Anything beyond the standard registers — bespoke-built sofas, unusual curves, restoration of inherited pieces, villa-wide upholstery coordination and frame-up atelier commissions. Quoted individually, cut and stitched for the specific room.
“Custom upholstery begins when the right piece does not yet exist.”
Discuss this pieceiii · Materials
Six coverings, selected for hand, wear and light.
Every upholstery project begins with the fabric or leather held in the room it will live in. The right covering is chosen for touch, performance and the way it changes with use.
01.
Belgian Linen
heavy upholstery weight
Cooler in hand, beautifully tailored and ideal for sofas, armchairs and quiet contemporary pieces.
02.
Cotton Velvet
contract & residential
Dense pile with cinematic light absorption. Best for lounge chairs, headboards and statement seating.
03.
Bouclé
natural blend
Looped texture with a soft tactile bloom. Reserved for sculptural forms and principal seating pieces.
04.
Full-Grain Leather
aniline / semi-aniline
Selected for grain character and the way it patinates over time. Best for armchairs, club chairs and bespoke sofa work.
05.
Performance Textile
indoor / outdoor
Stain-resistant and UV-stable weaves for family rooms, terraces and hospitality projects where resilience matters.
06.
Marine & Contract Spec
IFR / marine grade
Specialist leathers and fabrics for yachts, hotels and commercial interiors with code and maintenance requirements.
iv · The process
From the bare frame to the last stitch.
Good upholstery is mostly invisible once finished — which is why the internal work matters most. We build every piece from the structure outward.
Step 01
Assessment & strip-back
We inspect the frame, joints, springs and padding, then strip the piece to what can honestly remain and what must be renewed.
Step 02
Fabric or leather review
An edited selection of coverings reviewed against the room's palette, intended use and the character of the piece itself.
Step 03
Workshop rebuild
Webbing, springs, padding, stitching and tailoring completed in the atelier. Bespoke builds and full restorations are pattern-made before final covering.
Step 04
Delivery & placement
Placed, dressed and reviewed in the room. We make final comfort and alignment checks once the piece is back in use.
Closing · Upholstery
Send a photo of the piece.
We will return a route forward.
One image is usually enough to begin — frame condition, fabric direction and a clear proposal for bringing the piece back properly.
