Not your average upholsterer....
Hi, my name is Heather Linnitt, and I am Eclectic Chair, a designer upholsterer based in Chapel Allerton, North Leeds, with a passion for vintage & retro furniture & fabrics.
Nine years ago, after a lifetime of working in the restaurant industry, I trained as a Traditional Furniture Upholsterer with the acclaimed Traditional Upholstery Workshop in South West Wales.
I discovered that I had a flair for chairs!
Although I love to do traditional furniture upholstery, I do like it when a client wants to do something a bit more adventurous, such as the art deco club chair in the photo which was recovered with a black & gold oriental inspired fabric. And I love vintage & retro furniture & fabric, from Louis chairs to seventies G Plan, from Paul Smith stripes to Orla Kiely patterns.
So if you have an old chair gathering dust in your cellar...
A family heirloom that you don't want to throw away...
Or a junkshop find that has a great shape but a sagging seat...
