Nucleus Upholstery & Restoration

Rohan at Nucleus Upholstery & Restoration was recommended to me and his work was perfect. He brings new life to projects better than you can imagine. A true craftsman and a start to finish brilliant experience.

Rohan and his team are dedicated craftsmen and i love their work. When i found my togo i knew just who would be able to give it the love it needs to give it another 50 years. Thanks Rohan, i'll be back when i find the footstool to go with it.

Gorgeous & practical - I'm hooked!Rohan @ nucleus design has changed how we enjoy living and lounging at home.The material he uses are gorgeous and they wear well (or more to the point they don't show any signs of wear).His designs and focus on detail make his pieces easy on the eye, but also so comfortable.I never thought I'd care much about cushions, but our couches (even our daggy old black sofa) now look fresh, stylish and inviting.And the cushions from a couple of years ago on a custom corner couch Rohan did for us get a real work out from all of us, including two kids, two dogs and a cat that all call the couch and cushions home. Our funky gold and red Italian corduroy cushions covers have been washed so many times and come up like new each time.

Rohan gave me a reasonable quote for re-upholstering my 1930's art deco 3 piece lounge suite. Decisions needed to be made to respect the value of the suite as it is a rarer design and the original fabric was in almost perfect condition. Rohan made the original fabric into cushions which matches beautifully with the new leather and linen upholstery.Because of the suit's unique design we needed to work through several upholstering and finishing issues which resulted in a well upholstered suite that will be part of my families heritage.PS: thanks Rohan for the toy Hot wheels" you found when re-upholstering my suite. Part of its history."

Rohan recently undertook the restoration of a sectional lounge setting and arm chairs for us.The work, communication, service and general care and attention to detail were outstanding.Our lounge was originally made for the house in which we live for the original owners in around 1964, we were lucky enough to be able to purchase it and after 15 years in our ownership it was well needing a make over.The large piece is really at the heart of our family life in the house so the undertaking of restoration was a big decision for us, to find a craftsman who understood the importance of the heritage of our job was paramount.In this regard Rohan was a super resource, he patiently guided us through the overwhelming task of selecting an appropriate material, never becoming impatient when we changed our minds several times.He understood that this was a decision that we would need to live with for another 25 years.The final product is perfection, the cut and finish of the fine mid century design has been enhanced and improved. We love our lounge now more than ever and could not more highly recommend Rohan if you have restoration work to undertake.Rob & Antonella

Rohan restored and reupholstered our mid-century Rudowski lounge suite, comprised of 2 armchairs, an ottoman and a 3 metre long 4 person sofa. His craftsmanship is exceptional and I have recommended Rohan numerous times to many people. I’ve had other upholsterers look at my lounge suite who were extremely impressed with the quality of the work and they query’d who had done it and commented that Rohan’s craftsmanship was topnotch.

An absolute pleasure working with Rohan. His knowledge of his craft is second to none. Beautiful attention to detail and a true passion for design and restoration. Rohan made me a custom bench seat cushion in a beautiful tan leather with some throw cushions. I couldn’t be happier!

Rohan restored a mid century table and chairs for us and did a wonderful job. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what he does, and the quality of wood and upholstery work was excellent. He also took great care to understand exactly what we wanted and what would suit the piece and the setting. We could not have been happier with the result - many thanks.

Rohan did a fantastic job of upholstering our 1970s Tessa suite. He was very helpful in the fabric decision (and patient !), and we were extremely happy with the final result. Rohan communicated well throughout the process, and his work is of an extremely high standard.

There is nobody that deserves a more glowing review for his impeccable craft than Rohan at Nucleus. Every piece I have brought to him has exceeded expectation and the process has been a complete joy. Rohan is the best in the business and (just as important these days) he is a really nice dude.
