Breathe New Life Into Your Treasured Pieces

Every piece of furniture has a story, and at Eaton’s Guys of Design, we believe in giving your most cherished items a beautiful new chapter. 

Led by Chris Eaton and Brad Greeff, our Hermanus-based studio specialises in high-end refurbishing, custom reupholstery, and expert furniture restoration. Why replace a well-loved, structurally sound piece when you can completely reimagine it?

Whether it’s a treasured family heirloom that has seen better days, a vintage find that needs a modern aesthetic, or your favourite comfortable armchair that simply requires a fresh look, our team of master craftsmen is here to transform it. We blend traditional craftsmanship with innovative, contemporary design to restore and elevate your furniture.

 

A successful refurbishment is all about the finer details. Inside our Sandbaai Industria showroom, you’ll discover an extensive collection of fabric swatch books featuring stunning, high-quality materials. From luxurious velvets and durable linens to bold statement prints, Chris and Brad offer personalised consultations to help you select the perfect textile to suit your lifestyle and seamlessly integrate with your existing interior.

Our refurbishing services go far beyond simply recovering a cushion. We meticulously assess the structural integrity of your furniture. If needed, we repair frames, replace worn foam and springs, and expertly refinish exposed wood or metalwork. The result? A bespoke piece that feels brand new, functions flawlessly, but retains its original soul.
