Welcome to Kiwi Restoration & Reupholstery, where we breathe new life into cherished furniture. Founded on a passion for traditional craftsmanship and sustainable practices, our Auckland-based workshop is dedicated to preserving the story and integrity of every piece that comes through our doors, from family heirlooms to modern classics.

Our journey began with a simple belief: that quality furniture holds memories and that preserving these pieces is an act of legacy. We combine time-honored techniques handed down through generations with modern materials and an unwavering eye for detail. This dedication ensures not only the aesthetic revival of your furniture but also its structural longevity and enduring value.

From intricate timber repairs to complete reupholstery transformations, our team of seasoned artisans approaches each project with respect and meticulous care. We pride ourselves on transparent communication, exceptional results, and fostering lasting relationships with our clients across Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and beyond.
