We think these 2 new faux leather ranges from Skopos will prove very popular with our hotel clients due to the elegant characteristics of the textured finish and added benefit of a antimicrobial finish in a dazzling & luxurious colour palette.
Inspired by life within a tropical mangrove, one design takes inspiration from patterning seen on the skin of a reptile and the other echoes the arrangement of scales on a delicate seahorse. The 2 designs are intended to create a statement within contract interiors and add a luxurious, yet elegant choice for hospitality and leisure furniture.
We recently completed and installed 5 bespoke banquette units for one of London’s finest celebrity chef restaurants. Each banquette was made to measure and included 3 x 3m long benches and 2 corner units. We manufactured the frames from solid beech, the seats were fully sprung and we upholstered in luxurious Futura leather. Real leather radiates a high-class luxury feel which marries well with this top-class restaurant.
We installed these banquettes on Tuesday and diners were enjoying them that very evening.

Here a couple of examples of today’s work, an armchair box cushion which Alyson piped to give an enhanced edge profile. In the second example Alyson has top stitched the cushion hems for a clean edge. Top stitching can be completed in a matching or contrasting thread depending on the desired results.

We provide free site visits to measure up and advise you on fabric selection and upholstery enhancements such as deep buttoning, quilting, studwork and two tone upholstery.
We’re often asked to reupholster tub chairs, here are two examples which illustrate how a new fabric choice can update a tired interior. In this first example we gave a striking upgrade to tub chairs destined for a four star hotel in Windsor. We reupholstered in Lorca, Aradonis Weaves (Calina) a very smart textured semi plain fabric. A transformation from the classic deep pile red velvet that might now be considered a rather dated look.
Re-upholstered hotel tub chair
In this second example we enhanced the design by reupholstering in faux leather with antique look brass stud work, perfect for the golf club bar where these chairs are returning to.
Our skilled re-upholsterers gave this quality hotel chair a soft and luxurious makeover in Today Interiors – Textures Grain Zinc, a fabric which reflects light and creates a sense of glamour! We added buttoned detail to the chair back for an updated look.
We can often enhance chair design or structure in order to compliment new furniture or modernise the look and feel. Examples chair modifications include deep buttoning, stud work, covering previously exposed wood arms and replacing feet.
All our hotel furniture is customised to match customer’s specifications from choosing wood frame colour finish, upholstery trim (studs, piping etc.,) and hospitality fabrics. Here’s an example of a set of bar stools we manufactured for a well known London hotel bar.
We set to work on the solid beech frame to give it an opulent deep Wenge finish with a stunning depth of shine, we webbed the seat and back forming a strong base before adding a generous foam seat. A combination of contrasting fabric gives the finished stool a sophisticated urban feel which compliments the lounge and tub chairs we also re-upholstered for this hotel client. For the seat and back we used Panaz Aston faux leather in Pewter and for the seats we used Sunbury Designs Belfast Aquaclean in Frenzy – a linen look high performing contract fabric with a clean, crisp texture and colour.
Our interior designer created this striking combination of colourful Osbourne & Little zigzag patterned velvet and Linwood Italian velvet to transform this rather tired looking hotel lounge chair. We reupholstered the chair in our Reading workshop and our French polisher got to work restoring the worn arms, frame and legs to their former glory with a beautiful depth of colour and shine.
The Tulip range combines elegance, style and comfort and is shown here in electric blue velvet – a bold and confident colour choice. All seating may be upholstered to suit your requirements, we work with leading hospitality fabric manufacturers such as Panaz, Sunbury Designs and Skopos.
