Chair & Armchair Reupholstery

A favourite armchair or beautifully made chair is often worth keeping, particularly when it has the right proportions, character or history but the upholstery has become tired or no longer suits your home. Professional chair reupholstery can completely transform a piece, restoring its comfort while giving it a fresh appearance for a new setting or interior scheme.

Reupholstered Ercol Chairs

Georgina reupholsters traditional and contemporary armchairs, occasional chairs, dining chairs and individual statement pieces. Each chair is assessed before work begins and, where required, can be carefully stripped back so that worn upholstery materials, fillings and other elements can be addressed before the new covering is applied.

The choice of fabric or leather can make an enormous difference to a chair. Georgina works with clients to select materials, colours, patterns and finishing details that complement both the character of the furniture and the room around it. Her specialist experience with leather also allows for more unusual and individually detailed pieces.

From a much-loved family armchair to a set of dining chairs or an individual period piece, every chair is treated as an individual project and carefully finished by hand, preserving what is special about the furniture while creating something that feels at home in your interior today.

Leather Reupholstery

Leather can give a chair or sofa a completely different character, combining durability with a richness and depth that develops beautifully over time. Leather reupholstery is particularly suited to well-made furniture where the quality, proportions and character of the original piece are worth preserving.

Re-leathered Desk

Leather is one of Georgina's particular areas of expertise. With extensive experience working with hides across upholstery, interiors and her wider creative practice, she understands how different leathers behave, how they should be handled and how the choice of hide, colour and finish can influence the finished piece.

Georgina undertakes leather reupholstery of armchairs, sofas, dining chairs and individual statement pieces. Each project is assessed separately and, where required, the existing upholstery can be stripped back, worn materials and fillings addressed, and the piece carefully prepared before the new leather is cut, fitted and finished by hand.

Choosing the right leather is an important part of the process. From softer, more refined finishes to characterful hides that develop a natural patina with use, Georgina can help select a leather appropriate to the furniture, the way it will be used and the interior in which it will sit.

The result is not simply furniture that has been recovered in leather, but a carefully considered piece in which the material, craftsmanship and original character of the furniture work together.
