Broken chair backs? No problem.
Strong repair, beautifully discreet.

There’s something satisfying about taking a piece that’s unuseable and giving it a future again. This chair came in with a snapped back supports and left with its strength restored and the fix almost invisible. The kind of repair that feels as good as it looks.

Swipe to see the transformation — from broken to back-in-action.

If you’ve got a favourite chair that’s seen better days, we’re ready when you are.

Plain or Piped?
A plain seam keeps the upholstery surface smooth, joining two fabrics without any added structure. It’s subtle and functional, letting the form of the piece speak for itself.

A piped seam introduces a covered cord into that join, creating a crisp, raised outline. It emphasises edges, adds visual weight, and gives the furniture a more tailored, crafted look.

Plain seams blend in; piped seams stand out. Which would you choose?

🪡There’s something deeply satisfying about a slip stitch and that final pull closing the seam with a clean finish.
It’s the kind of detail you only appreciate up close.

A quick update from us: we’ll be taking a short break from the pop‑up shop in ART at MG - Datchworth UK over the next few weeks while we navigate some staff shortages.
The good news: Our workshop and showroom in Newnham is still open as normal, and we’re here for all your framing needs.
Thanks for your understanding — we’ll be back at the pop‑up soon.
