10kH Ten Thousand Hours

10kH Ten Thousand Hours 10kH (Silvia Perez & Rose Black ) is a small upholstery business that customises pieces in need of reupholstery using unique and beautiful textiles.

10kH Ten Thousand Hours is a small upholstery business that customises pieces in need of (re)upholstery.We are committed to sourcing and using unique and beautiful textiles, exploring mixtures of textures and colours and maintaining a high quality, hand crafted service. Silvia Perez and Rose Black met at college, which was a career change for both: a new direction with an opportunity to learn new

skills and be creative. Upholstery is all about giving furniture a second chance; the old made new with contemporary style and flair. Therefore, at 10kH the emphasis, as you could expect is on attention to detail and creativity. When it came to choosing a name for their partnership Silvia and Rose agreed that 10kH summed up the ethos they wanted to create. The premise is that practice can lead to perfection in a chosen skill. Add to their determination for proficiency and the passion that they share for the transformation and customising any neglected, tired or currently unloved chairs into unique creations then you have the spirit of 10kH. Services offered:

* Traditional Upholstery
* Modern Upholstery
* Caning
* Reviving of show-wood using the following techniques:
French polishing
Staining,
Waxing,
Varnishing and
Lacquer.

Boris Johnson has announced that his Government has signed an offshore detention deal with Rwanda. There's a chance to stop this. We need as many MPs as possible to take a stand against these cruel and dangerous plans.

Dear all
It is with great sadness that we’ve taken the hard decision of closing 10kH workshop.
We hope it will be a temporary situation and we would like to thank you for your support and custom along these fantastic years.
It has been a pleasure to be able to work in what we love so much and hopefully we can get back to it sometime soon.
Thanks again, we will miss you very much.
Silvia and Rose
