Sometimes the only way to check if a chair has enough padding in it, is to sit in it! 😀

This extra special project brought in by Joy was actually a chair made by her father many years ago!

Playing a part in a chair's story to bring it back to life is why we love what we do, especially when it has such significant meaning❤️

Considering how cold the sea is feeling here in #Cornwall we are happy to stare at this instead! 😃

Our student Daisy is certainly a woman to watch... how stunning are these! 😍 Her passion and determination saw her designs come to life, and what a result she has achieved. We wish her all the luck in her new business venture creating bespoke headboards 👏

Jenny used only traditional techniques and materials to reupholster this chair. After stripping the chair right back, we found the wood came up so beautifully. Pairing the golden wood colour with this daydreaming worth turquoise fabric, the result is a real vision! 🦓 #upholstery

This is the first attempt in playing around with #screenprinting. In the words of the great man himself ... "I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring" ⚡️

Look out for this printed satin fabric being turned into an awesome chair very soon…. 👀
