Bar banquette seat gets a stunning renovation

This curved banquette seat in the New Bucks University’s Student Union Bar required a much needed renovation.  After taking measurements onsite our skilled upholsterers set to work creating new padded foam seats and fluted backs.  We upholstered the banquette in Camira Vita faux leather, a practical and hygenic choice for bar use.  Vita is a leather-look vinyl, with a subtle surface grain effect and full matt appearance, it provides maximum protection for heavy duty end-use areas.

Banquette seat renovation

Vita does not contain phthalate plasticisers or heavy metals, yet remains soft, stretchy and pliable. It benefits from a modified durable top coat, which offers improved resistance to alcohol cleaners and excellent wearability.

Latest bespoke banquette for London hotel

We were delighted to produce this bespoke banquette seat for a stunning Edwardian style conservatory in one of Kensington’s most popular hotels. We manufactured the frame in-house and used traditional upholstery techniques with generous quantities of foam for maximum comfort and durability.

The finished banquette blends seamlessly with the existing interior scheme.  We upholstered the seats in luxurious Yarwood Hammersmith Leather in Clay, the enhanced styled seat-back was upholstered in Sinclaire Rati Ruby, a striking contrast that works so well with existing furniture.

Our latest super sized bespoke sofa

This bespoke horseshoe shaped sofa measuring almost 8.5 metres was a team effort and we’re very proud of the results. The frames were made in our Reading workshops by Matt while machinist Alison made up cushions and fitted frame covers. Our workshop manager Julian then upholstered the sofas using finest Crest leather in Old English Saddle, a beautiful tan real leather which would work well with a wide range of interior schemes. For an extra special luxurious feel we used feather & down cushions which were buttoned to enhance the design. Get in touch to discuss any bespoke seating requirements.

Reupholstery for bars, restaurants & hotels

We have a wealth of experience providing reupholstery services to the leisure industry,  seating within bars, restaurants & hotels undergoes almost relentless use and is subjected to accidental food & drink spills. Reupholstery is an extremely cost effective alternative to buying new seating and provides the perfect window of opportunity to adopt a fresh new colour scheme.  We upholster with high durability contract fabrics from leading manufacturers such as Panaz, Osbourne & Little, Skopos, Camira and Sunbury Design – we advise on fabrics selection and provide samples.

Fabric choice and seating types all influence a customers perception of the experience they believe they will have when choosing to take a seat at a bar or requesting a table.  A chair splattered with food stains is memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Our reupholstery services include:

  • Fabric & foam replacement
  • French polishing chair arms & legs
  • Repairing damaged frames
  • Replacing missing or damaged feet
  • Stud work
  • Deep buttoning

Our team of skilled upholsterers and machinists are based close to junction 11 of the M4 in Berkshire we provide a complete service with a rapid turnaround.  Collection and delivery is usually free of charge and we’re generally in London 3 days a week providing quotations, collecting furniture or delivering beautifully reupholstered seating – which really does look like new!
