Who we are
Rob Chadwick – Master Upholsterer & Furniture Maker
With over 20 years’ experience, Rob Chadwick is one of London’s leading upholsterers. His journey began as an apprentice, learning traditional techniques from master craftsmen. Over the years, Rob’s passion for French furniture and his commitment to quality have shaped his unique approach, where every detail matters and every piece tells a story.
From restoring antiques to designing his own collection, Rob’s work is defined by integrity, patience, and a love for beautiful materials. In his London studio, he personally oversees every chair, using time-honoured methods and the finest fabrics to create furniture that’s as comfortable as it is elegant.
Craftsmanship & Philosophy:
A Tradition of Excellence
Each Chadwick chair is built on a solid beech frame, hand-carved and assembled with care. The upholstery is tailored by hand, ensuring a perfect fit and luxurious feel. Rob believes that good design should last a lifetime and that true luxury lies in the details.
Inside The Workshop
Step inside Rob’s workshop and you’ll find a space where tradition meets creativity, and every tool has a story to tell. It’s a place filled with the scent of fresh fabric, the quiet hum of careful work, and the gentle clatter of well-worn tools. Here, time slows down so every detail can be just right.
Rob’s bench is where old techniques and new ideas come together. Classic hand tools sit side-by-side with modern materials, ready for the next challenge - be it restoring a Victorian armchair or reimagining a contemporary sofa. The workshop is a hive of activity, but there’s a sense of calm purpose in every movement, every measured cut, every stitch pulled tight.
This is where the magic happens: where tired pieces are transformed, and where Rob’s eye for detail and passion for quality shine through. It’s not just about fixing furniture - it’s about honouring the past, embracing creativity, and sending each piece back into the world better than ever.
Take a peek behind the scenes and you’ll see why craftsmanship matters. Every project starts and ends here, in a workshop built on pride, patience, and a love for the craft.
