Kestrel & Lowe

Chairs, sofas and settees, rebuilt by hand the slow way.

A small upholstery shop on the Lower West Side. We strip frames back to the wood, re-glue loose joints, tie springs eight ways and finish with fabric you choose at our bench.

What comes through our door

Heirloom armchairs

Wingbacks, club chairs and parlour pieces that have outlived three moves and two cats.

Mid-century seating

Foam replaced, webbing renewed, original lines kept exactly as the designer meant them.

Diner & café booths

Durable vinyl and commercial-grade fabric for neighbourhood restaurants and bars.
