Couches are most of our work, but the bench in Jabavu sees a lot more than couches. Dining chairs that have had 10 years of Sunday lunches. A grandmother’s settee with the stuffing coming out. A headboard you’ve never liked.

What we repair and re-cover

  • Dining chairs. New seat foam and fabric, one chair or the whole set. Marilyn Rukande’s came back in Pluto velvet.
  • Armchairs and wingbacks. Singles or pairs, matched to your couch or chosen to stand out.
  • Antique settees. The carved frame stays. Look at the stained settee on our home page, re-covered in silver-grey.
  • Headboards and bed bases. Fluted, buttoned or piped, in velvet or leather, made to the width of your bed.
  • Ottomans, recliners and bar stools. Ts3bo sent us 3 bar stools with a 6-seater couch in one job.
  • Sideboards and wooden pieces. Refinished, like the sideboard in the slider above.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Trysofic Projects for the renovation of my old dining chairs, which had been with me for over a decade.

Made to measure

We also build from scratch. We’ve built a wooden bunk bed with shelves and storage underneath, with the ladder on whichever side suits your room, plus accent cushions in velvets and textured weaves. If you’ve got a picture of something you want, send it. Jocelyn Brown gave Kwanele a design to follow and wrote that he matched “95% of what I wanted”.

Questions we get asked

Is it worth re-covering dining chairs?

If the frames are solid, usually yes. Mapuleng Gaula wrote on Google that re-covering saved her a lot of money compared with buying new chairs.

Do you make new headboards?

Yes. We make fluted, buttoned and piped headboards and bed bases to your size, in velvet or leather.

Can you refinish wood as well as fabric?

Yes. The sideboard in the before-and-after above was refinished alongside the dining chair that goes with it.
