Not every project is about starting from scratch. For Azabu, the focus was on revitalising an existing hospitality environment.As a long-standing client, the brief centred on refreshing high-use seating areas without disrupting the established atmosphere. Working from our Auckland-based factory, the team carefully restored the existing upholstery, refining detailing and replacing worn materials to bring renewed depth and consistency to the space.



Located on Auckland’s waterfront, the venue is designed for everything from long lunches to late nights, with a steady flow of guests moving through the space . As a result, seating plays a critical role in both comfort and durability.Working with an existing interior, the brief centred on refreshing key upholstered elements to restore their original quality without interrupting the established look and feel. Materials were carefully matched and refined, ensuring a seamless integration with the surrounding timber, leather, and architectural finishes. Delivered from our Auckland-based facility, the upholstery was restored with a focus on longevity.
