Our Services:
Bespoke Interiors, Handcrafted for Characterful Living
At The Original Chair Company, we believe a well-designed home should feel as though it’s evolved over time—sophisticated, soulful, and unmistakably yours.
Rooted in craftsmanship and guided by timeless design, we create bespoke upholstered furniture for discerning clients who want more than just a beautiful home—they want one that tells their story. Each piece is handcrafted to reflect your personal style, blending elegance with comfort and heritage with modern living.
But our work doesn’t stop at chairs and sofas. We offer a thoughtfully curated selection of interior design elements—from hand-sewn curtains and blinds to luxury wallpapers, sumptuous feather-filled cushions, and textured rugs in natural fibres like wool and sisal. Everything is chosen to complement your space and bring it to life with warmth and individuality.
Whether you're refreshing a single room or designing your entire home, we’re here to guide you with a personalised service that makes the creative process feel inspiring, not overwhelming. Our custom pieces and tailored interiors are designed to grow with you—becoming part of your home’s evolving story.
Re-upholstery
We offer a full re-upholstery service for your own furniture. Perhaps your sofa or chair requires a fresh look with a more modern fabric or some new seat and back cushions. Or you may want an antique family heirloom traditionally re-upholstered. Our expert craftspeople will carry out whatever is required to make your furniture last for many future years. We can arrange a collection and delivery if required and will include this in our quote, or you’d be welcome to bring your furniture to us.
All of our work is carried out to a high standard to include wood clean and is guaranteed.
