“ The whole magic of upholstery is to see how, from an old piece of wood, a capable upholsterer can create a treasure. ”

Upholstery and furniture restoration

TS Design Studio Ltd

Mastering the art of upholstery in London

TS Design Studio Ltd is my upholstery and furniture workshop based in Orpington, London. I strive to bring creativity and the highest quality workmanship in all of the projects I undertake. Each piece I work on is finished to the highest standard and levels of precision. I specialise in upholstery restoration, repair, and custom designs, bringing craftsmanship, tradition, and modern techniques together. In my opinion, success in work depends on three ingredients: passion, commitment and the heart you put into it – I have no shortage of any of these elements when it comes to upholstery!

I have created TS Design Studio to show the best in artisan craftsmanship but with an additional creative approach. I want my furniture to be attractive and admired while respecting the integrity of the original design whether that’s 16th century or 21st! I cherish the time I spend on my work, I love learning new things and experimenting in my craft. Having my own workshop has given me this opportunity.

In upholstery, there are two major approaches: traditional and contemporary.

Each has its unique materials, tools, and methods.

While traditional upholstery is rooted in craftsmanship and preserves the integrity of antique furniture, contemporary upholstery embraces innovation for modern comfort and design flexibility. TS Design Studio is one of the few workshops in London that specializes in both techniques, offering a tailored approach based on each project’s needs.

I enjoy partnering with my clients, I always look for innovative solutions, and I’m not afraid to experiment.

It's rare to find this level of service and quality. Tomasz came out to our home to make an assessment of the two chairs we needed recovering. He talked us through what he would do, kept us updated during the process and delivered our chairs back to our flat. The quality of the work is fantastic. Couldn't recommend TS Design enough

Tomasz is clearly a master of his trade. From the very first conversation it is clear he is passionate and proud of what he does and wants to make sure it is delivered to the highest standard. We ordered a custom bench from a joiner and Tomasz provided us with custom cushions, which look absolutely wonderful and very comfortable. Huge thank you and highly recommend.

We asked Tomasz to reupholster two chairs for us. The original, sprung cushions were in a very bad way - indeed, there were only three cushions for Tomasz to work with. He completely refurbished the cushions and built one from scratch using an authentic sprung cushion technique. He kept us updated along the way and worked incredibly quickly. Tomasz is a true master craftsperson. He takes real pride in his work and his knowledge and experience means that he is able to give helpful suggestions. We’re so happy with our chairs, which are as good as new despite being decades old!

Wonderful service, attention to detail and passion for the work. Genuine pleasure to trust Tomasz with restoring my loved 1952 Hans Wegner Chair: A true craftsman at a very reasonable price. Cushions here were restored internally, recovered and the wood was refreshed. 🙂 Thanks, Simon

Tomasz was recommended to me by the London Chair Collective as someone that could assist with my requirement to re-upholster my very sad Balzac armchair. I cannot recommend Tomasz highly enough, he is obviously a master upholsterer, as the works progressed there were several unexpected problems that were dealt with both quickly and professionally. His obvious passion for his work and enthusiastic approach made it a very enjoyable process. I am so happy with the result, the attention to detail is incredible!! He had several very good ideas as to how to improve the longevity of the work and (I may have mentioned this already!!!!!) I am SO happy with the result!

Tamasz did an amazing job recovering our sofa, we bought an old Borge Mogensen sofa from Denmark that needed recovering. He has done an exceptional job matching with an exacting eye and standard to how the original Borge Mogensen sofa's are finished, very happy and strongly recommend him. Reuben
