🪡✨ Latest from the workshop… ✨🪡

Here is a recent transformation we’re proud of — a classic chaise longue reupholstered in beautiful tartan fabric, chosen by the client to honour their Highland roots. The result is a timeless piece with a personal touch — and a real statement in any room.

Every project teaches us something new. It’s not just the materials or the techniques — it’s the trust of our clients, and the unique ideas they bring. This one pushed us to work more intricately with pattern placement to keep the lines sharp and the symmetry just right.

If you’ve got a tired chair, a worn sofa, or a much-loved piece that needs a second life, we’d love to hear your ideas and help bring them to life.
