The Essential Guide to Preserving Heritage Upholstery and Restored Fabrics
It takes a skilled restorer many weeks of work to bring an old family chaise or a disintegrating mid-century lounge back to its former splendor. Learn exactly how to keep your investment vibrant and protected from the moment it crosses your threshold.
Education, Inspiration & A Peek Behind The Bench
Our journal is an extension of the conversations we have in our Perth showroom every day. We're often asked how to tell high-grade timber from a lower grade, when reupholstery is actually a good investment, and what finishes to choose for busy family homes.
By writing these guides, we hope to help you become an informed commissioner—able to describe what you want with certainty, ask a maker clever questions, and care for your piece long after our team has departed.
