The Workshop in Rothley

At the centre of Barratt Studio is John Barratt, upholsterer and cabinet maker with over 30 years of experience.

Working from his workshop in Rothley, each piece is restored, rebuilt, and finished entirely by hand.

The focus is simple: careful work, honest materials, and pieces made to last.

  • Sourcing

    Carefully selected materials suited to each piece.

  • Restoration

    Frames repaired and strengthened using traditional methods.

  • Upholstery

    Built up by hand using time-tested techniques.

  • Finishing

    Final detailing to ensure durability and precision.

Approach

Each piece is approached individually, with attention to proportion, material, and longevity.

Traditional upholstery techniques are combined with a considered, contemporary eye — ensuring furniture that is both durable and refined.

The aim is simple: to make pieces that last.
