As can be seen from our ‘before’ photo, this imposing fireside armchair was in need of some urgent TLC. Our client chose cream Muirhead leather for the re-upholstery and we did the rest. Foam was replaced on both arms to restore comfort, as the original had lost some of its fullness over time. The chair is finished with chrome studwork.
This occasional carver chair arrived in our workshop with a ripped cover, collapsed wadding and broken springs. We stripped it back to the frame and made all the replacements necessary to provide renewed support and comfort.
Our client provided a piece of ‘Union Flag’ design fabric, which fits the seat perfectly and definitely makes a strong impression! It’s finished with brown studwork, and we think it looks fantastic. It’s a versatile piece of furniture which will suit a variety of spaces.
Deriving inspiration from the grand London Gentlemen’s clubs of St James’, the Lansdowne is one of Duresta’s traditional classics. The low arm sweeps beautifully from front to back. We re-upholstered a pair of these wonderful pieces in super soft pewter grey wool from Art Of The Loom.
This miniature child’s armchair came in with a ripped black vinyl covering. We’ve made it altogther more inviting for the little one to sit in, by re-upholstering it in warm Abraham Moon wool fabric.
A classic Duresta Maximus with scatter cushions, re-upholstered in black Abraham Moon wool. The beautifully soft dark fabric makes this huge piece of furniture so inviting.
Made to our client’s particular specifications, all measurements are designed to suit the individual’s needs. After consultation with the customer we were able to create a chair, exactly to their taste and specification. The chair is covered in a tasteful aubergine wool plaid fabric. It has been expertly upholstered so that the check pattern runs seamlessly from the back to the wings, to the arms and the cushion.
A pair of elegant Duresta Lansdowne sofas, this time re-upholstered in light and dark grey Harris Tweed herringbone wool. The rare character and beauty of Harris Tweed is attributable to the fact that it is the only fabric produced in commercial quantities by truly traditional methods anywhere in the world. The islanders of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra produce this luxury cloth entirely by hand. From start to finish the cloth is in the hands of skilled and experienced artisans who oversee every stage of production utilising generations of knowledge to produce a product worthy of the name Harris Tweed.
We re-covered this pair of rare Cassina Met corner sofas in a navy blue velvet. Upholstering a design such as this in a non-stretch fabric is extremely demanding, and many challenges were certainly faced during the process. But the fantastic end result justifies the efforts involved. This item is currently for sale, enquiries welcome.
It was a real pleasure to work on this stunning set of Knoll Brno office chairs. Designed in 1930 by the legendary Mies Van Der Rohe, this chair is truly an icon of the 20th century, looking as sleek and contemporary today as it did back then. This is the flat-bar brushed steel version, and the quality of manufacture is second to none. We’ve re-covered them in a contemporary pale grey wool.
Superb gentleman’s slipper chair featuring dark mahogany wood turned legs and brass castors. Deep buttoned and upholstered in grey Moon herringbone wool.
