Old Frames, New Stories
We strip, rebuild and recover the sofas, armchairs and heirloom pieces you can't bear to throw away, by hand, in our Canberra workshop, with fabric chosen to suit the way you live.
For over twenty years we have rebuilt the chairs families sit in every day. We keep the frame that was built to last, replace everything that has worn out, and send it home stronger than the day it was made.
Choose Your Fabric, Shape & Finish
Bring us a tired armchair or a sketch on a napkin. We help you pick from hundreds of linens, velvets, bouclés and full-grain leathers, then adjust the foam, piping, buttoning and leg stain until the piece feels like yours.

A well-made hardwood frame can carry three or four covers over its lifetime. Recovering it uses a fraction of the timber, steel and foam that a new flat-pack sofa needs, and keeps a bulky piece out of the tip.
We work with natural latex and CertiPUR foams, offcut-free cutting plans, and fabric mills that publish where their fibre comes from.

Kept, Not Replaced
What our customers say after their furniture comes home.
My grandmother's wingback had a broken leg and fabric from the 1970s. It came back in olive linen and is now the first chair everyone sits in.
Margaret L.
The quote was the price I paid, no surprises. Our sofa feels firmer than when we bought it twelve years ago.
Daniel & Priya R.
They recovered forty booths for our café over two weekends so we never had to close. Two years on, not a single split seam.
Sam O.
Every missing button was replaced and the leather was cleaned and fed. It looks the way it did when my father bought it.
Helen W.
Eight dining chairs picked up on Monday and back on Friday in a fabric that wipes clean. The kids have already tested it.
Tom & Grace B.
We needed a sofa that fit a narrow bay. They measured twice, built it to the centimetre and it slid in with room to spare.
