About John (aka JB)

JB is a master craftsman with decades of experience in the upholstery trade. He began his career in England in the 1980s, where he trained and qualified before leading Design and Development at Tetrad UK, one of the country’s premier furniture manufacturers.

In the early 2000s, John relocated to Melbourne with his family, bringing his wealth of knowledge and skill to Australia. Since then, he has worked as a lead design upholsterer for some of the top Australian designers and manufacturers, across both residential and commercial sectors.

Now working independently, John partners with small businesses and individual clients to create bespoke upholstered pieces. From reupholstering a treasured item to crafting a one-of-a-kind statement piece or building a cozy family couch from scratch, John is committed to delivering high-quality, beautifully finished furniture designed to last.
