Our Workshop Story
With over 15 years of dedicated practice and Level 3 City & Guilds qualifications, Stone & Stitch was born from a passion for preserving the narratives held within furniture. Our journey began in a small workshop fueled by the philosophy that quality restoration requires both technical mastery and a deep respect for heritage. Today, we continue to blend traditional handstitched upholstery with modern sustainable methods, ensuring every piece that leaves our workshop is built to stand the test of time.
Our Craftsmanship
Every project at Stone & Stitch is an exercise in meticulous skill and patience. We strip each piece back to its bare frame, honoring the original intent while applying techniques that ensure another lifetime of use. From hand-sprung seats to complex deep buttoning, our craftsmanship is rooted in the belief that the parts you don't see deserve as much care as the final stitch.
A Personalised Approach to Every Project
We collaborate closely with you to ensure every choice aligns with your home, your lifestyle, and the unique story of your furniture.
Personal Consultation
Your journey begins with a detailed discussion about your piece's history and your vision for its restoration. We explore fabric options and techniques tailored to your specific needs.
Collaborative Design
We move into a design phase where materials are selected for longevity and character. We ensure the aesthetics perfectly complement your home's unique interior style.
Artisanal Creation
The final stage focuses on the meticulous craft. We use heritage techniques to restore frames and apply finishes that meet our rigorous quality standards.
The Standard of Excellence
We believe that luxury lies in the details that often go unseen. Our quality assurance is a promise that every piece leaving our workshop meets the highest standards of durability and beauty. By hand-selecting premium natural fibres and utilizing heritage techniques like eight-way hand-tied springs and hand-stitched horsehair edges, we ensure your furniture isn't just restored — it's perfected for generations to come.
“Stone & Stitch brings a level of integrity and respect for materials that is truly rare. Every project is a lesson in craftsmanship and patience.”
