In my studio workshop I produce pieces of quality to suit personal requirements , large or small
built in or freestanding furniture for modern or period homes
Mid century furniture restoration
In the workshop I have a regular intake of period furniture in need of restoration or often some attention; to return its appeal and make it desirable once more. I have many years experience in restoring period furniture, resulting in an understanding and passion for tradition.
Major and minor repairs are all undertaken and, if required, finishes from modern spray to French polishing techniques are applied, dependant on the piece and style. Finally, a wax is applied for protection. Should you have a piece in need of some work or if you’re looking to buy furniture I’ve already given a new lease of life, then please get in touch or browse my online shop.
Being an enthusiast and owner of classic VW’s, over the last few years I have found myself working alongside leading local upholsterers, creating interiors for vintage Volkswagens incorporating storage, cooking and seating with creative design into these small iconic vehicles.
These vans have lead me into both designing and fabricating new and modern forms of interior shapes to compliment their small restrictive spaces. Although small, by creating a bespoke fitted interior specific to each van, I am able to add value.
Consequently, I have received much praise and support from the VW community. Working with leading upholsterers, we have featured in various magazines and even in the TV programme ‘George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces’. We have fitted out van interiors from all over Europe, for owners who desired quality and bespoke solutions rather than a ‘Flat-pack-kit’.
