Bristol Upholstery Collective is a growing community of upholsterers. Collaborating with local designers, creating unique products and educating consumers towards 'slow interiors' and investment in longevity.
Upholstery is a practice with sustainability at its core. Every piece of furniture we save is one that has not been sent to a landfill!
From sustainability-focused events to experimenting with innovative materials and promoting rare heritage crafts - We are determined to put our sustainable stamp on the upholstery world!
Bristol Upholstery Collective Events
Our aim is to unite independent upholsterers, bringing them out of isolation to share skills, network and socialise. The future of the sustainable furniture industry is in the hands of the independent upholsterer. We are here to empower the upholsterer!
BUC events have previously focused on sustainability, exchanging knowledge and creative expression. Our August 2022 event included an illuminating talk from former lawyer Delyth Fetherston-Dike, who is trying to change the Fire Regulation laws here in the UK and make our homes a cleaner and safer place to be.
