Studio Values
Kate Morris Studio is a design-led upholstery studio built on thoughtful making, material integrity, and a deep respect for furniture. Our work sits at the intersection of design and craftsmanship—considered, calm, and made to last.
Design-Led Upholstery
Upholstery is a design discipline, not just a technical service. Every piece is approached as a whole, with careful attention to proportion, line, colour, texture, and how it will live within a space. We prioritise design integrity over trends, creating work that feels relevant now and endures over time.
Respect for Furniture and Its Story
We believe furniture carries meaning. Whether a piece is inherited, discovered, or newly made, it deserves a thoughtful approach. Our work balances preservation with creative renewal—honouring original craftsmanship while allowing room for sensitive evolution. Patina, character, and history are valued, not erased.
Materials with Integrity
Quality materials are central to our process. We work with considered fabrics, natural fibres, and robust internal structures chosen for both performance and aesthetics. Scale, texture, and longevity guide every material decision. We favour fewer, better choices over excess.
Craftsmanship You Can Feel
Good upholstery is as much about feel as it is about form. Quiet details matter: hand-sewn finishes, carefully built foundations, thoughtful stuffing choices, and balanced pattern placement. These elements create comfort, longevity, and a sense of ease that can't be rushed.
A Collaborative Process
We work closely with our clients, offering guidance without prescription. Clear communication, honest advice, and a calm, considered process are central to how we work. Each project is a collaboration built on trust, expertise, and shared decision-making.
Made to Last
Reupholstery is an act of preservation. By extending the life of well-made furniture, we help reduce waste and keep meaningful pieces in use. Sustainability, for us, is rooted in longevity—designing and making with care so furniture continues its story for years to come.
