Refresh, Don't Replace
We can change the upholstered fabric and the colour of your frames so you will never need to replace them. We call it our Refresh Service.
The Finest British Craftsmanship
Made to Order, Made for You
As a truly bespoke Chairmaker, each bar stool and chair is individually made to order in our Kent workroom, with your choice of model, designer fabric and finish — creating a piece that is uniquely yours.
Made to Last a Lifetime
Our traditionally crafted bespoke dining chairs and bar stools will not only perfectly and comfortably fit your home, they will last for years to come.
By combining the highest quality natural materials with time-honoured traditional craftsmanship skills, our chairs and bar stools are built to last a lifetime.
It's never too early to start investing in pieces to buy now and love forever.
Refresh Not Replace
Although our chairs and bar stools will last for years, we know that the fabric on the seats may not.
So for whatever the reason, we can change the upholstered fabric and colour of your frames, so you will never need to replace them. We call it our Refresh Service.
Are You Sitting Comfortably...?
Did you know we spend 6 hours a day sitting down? That's 90 days a year! So, it really does matter what you are sitting on. Which is why our hand made seats are so seriously comfortable.
We are proud to be one of the first British Chairmakers to use 100% natural latex in all our seats.
Our Happy Customers

"Exceptional!"
Exceptional! The best customer service I’ve experienced in a very long time. They really deliver on their ethos that their chairs are for life - offering complimentary recovering of the seat pad on my chair even after I’d had it for many years. Personal and helpful and they wouldn’t even accept my offer of paying the return postage! Would highly recommend not only their craftsmanship but the care with which they run the business.

The Perfect Finishing Touch!!"
"When we boldly changed the colour of our kitchen after 20 years, the barstools had to go. Endlessly searching the internet, I thought we would never sit down again - until I discovered Gabriella James, Chairmakers.
With charming help from Felicity, I became the proud owner of three bar stools which are the right size (HxWxD), the exact paint colour, upholstered in the fabric I wanted; the perfect finishing touch to our shiny new kitchen. Thank you Gabriella James!"
