Comprehensive upholstery, one trusted workshop

Reupholstery

We strip your furniture back to the frame, repair or rebuild the foundation, and re-cover it in the fabric or leather of your choice. Your favourite lounge suite returns looking better than new — and built to last another generation.

  • Sofas, couches & full lounge suites
  • Armchairs, wingbacks & occasional chairs
  • Dining & carver chairs
  • Ottomans, benches & footstools

Upholstery Repair

Not everything needs a full re-cover. Our repair service tackles rips and tears, sagging or collapsed seats, broken springs and frames, and flattened foam — extending the life of pieces you love at a fraction of replacement cost.

  • Seam, rip & tear repairs
  • Sagging seat & cushion rebuilds
  • Spring re-tying & frame repair
  • Foam & fibre replacement

Headboards & Beds

Bespoke upholstered headboards and bed bases in any size, shape or fabric — from clean contemporary panels to deep diamond-buttoned statement pieces that anchor the room.

  • Made-to-measure headboards
  • Diamond & deep buttoning
  • Upholstered bed bases & ottomans
  • Matching scatter cushions

Loose Covers & Slipcovers

Precision-fitted removable covers that let you refresh a room, protect against wear, and launder with ease — a practical, cost-effective alternative to a full re-cover.

  • Tailored, snug-fit covers
  • Washable & swappable
  • Sofas, chairs & dining seats
  • Seasonal fabric options

Antique & Heritage Restoration

Cape Dutch heirlooms, Victorian chairs and mid-century classics deserve traditional hands. We restore antiques using period-correct methods — hand-tied springs, hessian, coir and traditional stitching — preserving provenance while renewing comfort.

  • Hand-tied coil-spring foundations
  • Traditional stuffing & stitched edges
  • Frame & timber restoration
  • Insurance assessments & quotes

Outdoor & Patio

Sun, salt air and southeasters are hard on outdoor furniture. We rebuild patio and poolside pieces with UV-stable, water-resistant fabrics and quick-dry reticulated foam that shrug off the elements.

  • UV & water-resistant fabrics
  • Quick-dry reticulated foam
  • Patio, poolside & boat seating
  • Custom outdoor scatter cushions

Bespoke Furniture

When nothing off-the-shelf will do, we design and build from scratch — sizing, frame, fill and finish tailored to your space, your posture and your architect’s vision.

  • Made-to-measure sizing
  • Kiln-dried hardwood frames
  • Designer & trade collaboration
  • Curated fabric & leather library

Commercial & Contract

Contract-grade upholstery engineered for the 24/7 demands of hospitality and workplace — from lobby statement pieces and restaurant banquettes to boardroom and office chairs, built to survive spills, friction and heavy use.

  • Hotels, lodges & guesthouses
  • Restaurants, bars & banquettes
  • Office & boardroom seating
  • Contract-grade, fire-retardant fabrics

Questions

Upholstery, answered

The things clients most often ask before booking.

Yes. We provide free, no-obligation quotes across Cape Town and the Western Cape. Send us photos and dimensions for a quick estimate, or book an in-home assessment and we’ll come to you.

Cost depends on the size and construction of the piece and your fabric choice. After a quick assessment we give you a clear written quote with no surprises. Repairs are often far more affordable than a full re-cover.

Absolutely. You’re welcome to supply your own fabric, or choose from our curated library of premium upholstery fabrics and leathers. We’ll advise on durability and suitability for how the piece will be used.

Most residential pieces are completed within 1–3 weeks depending on complexity, fabric availability and current workload. We confirm a realistic timeline with your quote.

Yes — we offer collection and white-glove delivery throughout the Cape Town metro, so you never have to transport heavy furniture yourself.

We do. Our artisans use traditional techniques to restore antiques and heirlooms, and we provide detailed assessments and quotes suitable for insurance claims.

We serve homes and businesses across Cape Town — including the Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, City Bowl, Northern Suburbs and the Winelands. If you’re nearby, just ask.
