Love at 1st Sight specialises in revamping antique and vintage furniture items which have passed their used-by date. They refurbish them and give them a new lease on life by repainting them in bold colours and reupholstering them in contemporary fabrics. From 1950’s and 1960’s retro chairs, 1970’s wicker peacock chairs, vintage bentwood & bamboo chairs through to the ornate Antique Louis XV wingback chairs and beautifully worn leather vintage smoking armchair, Love at 1st Sight refurbish furniture from all eras. All pieces are handpicked from auction houses, vintage markets & second hand stores. Some are rescued from the side of the road or discovered at a garage sale. Each chair is a one-off and is given an individualised design makeover to ultimately serve as a statement piece in a space.

Check out the images below of some of their work in progress – Louis XV Graffiti Furniture. Hell yeah! A collaboration with a graffiti artist SET ONE from Big City Freaks.

Nice work guys.
