1998Where it began
It started with a single recliner, a small workshop, and a promise: repair it right, or don’t call it done.
In 1998, long before “sustainability” was a buzzword, our founder was already living it — taking in furniture other workshops had given up on and sending it back out looking, and functioning, like new. No shortcuts, no guesswork. Just careful hands and an eye for what a piece was originally meant to be.
That reputation traveled the way good work always does — one satisfied client telling the next. What began as a one-man repair bench along the Eastern Bypass grew, piece by piece, into Nairobi’s trusted name in furniture engineering — recliners, sofas, leather, office furniture, and everything in between.
Today, the tools are sharper and the workshop is bigger, but the standard hasn’t moved an inch: every piece that comes through our doors gets treated like it’s worth saving. Because it usually is.

What guides every repair that leaves our workshop
Not slogans — the actual standard behind every project, big or small.
Honest Assessment
We tell you what a piece actually needs — no upselling, no inflated quotes. If it can be repaired cheaper than replaced, we say so.
Hands-On Craft
Every piece is worked on by skilled hands, not a rushed assembly line — traditional technique blended with modern finishing.
Built to Last
We don’t patch problems — we fix the root cause, so what leaves our workshop stays fixed.
