Coming soon.

These little roundies were dreamt up and created in small batches at our Newcastle studio.

They are made from a beautifully soft 100% cotton corduroy and feather filled inserts which create a vintage slouched lived-in look.

Available in October.

Upholstrei's creator Reioni

has always had a curiosity for how things are made and come together. This, coupled with an appreciation of vintage furniture and a love for textiles and re-purposing meant that after years of travel it was time to come back to Australia to pursue the craft of upholstery.

Rei moved interstate, studied in Melbourne and trained under highly experienced upholsterers in Torquay. She spent many, many hours of her spare time honing her skills and still finds it hard to separate from her staple gun on weekends.

In Rei’s perfect world only great quality, long-lasting pieces are made, kept, handed down or re-sold to be cherished again and again.

If you’d love a quote, or have a question please get in touch and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
