Bespoke Upholstery – M Shed, Bristol

We were recently contacted by M Shed, the Museum based in Bristol to undertake various upholstery projects on there existing seating units in the Exhibition Gallery.

Materials Used

Chieftain – Just Colour – Gunmetal Grey

What We Did

The existing seating units needed cutting down at the frame work to make them slightly smaller and arms added to certain ends of the seating to make a more comfortable seating area.

We made a brand new arm from CNC machinery, upholstered this and fixed it on the seating units which were upholstered in Chieftain – Just Colour – Gunmetal Grey.

Working closely with the maintenance manager on site to ensure we worked on a schedule and quick turn around to ensure visitors were not impacted with seating areas.

We think the finished seating looks fantastic and is a great example of refurbishing and reusing for a green impact on the environment!
