Craftsmanship

---

Unlike the UK and France, Australia does not have the rich history of traditional upholstery skills that have been handed down through generations readily available. 

Through the uncompromising use of traditional materials and techniques, my aim is to pioneer a new-found love and appreciation for this vanishing craft.

At a time when the world is increasingly aware of the need for sustainability, the materials used in traditional upholstery lead the way.
