The Chairman & Son: Craftsman at Work

Sam Harris

Upholstering and making fine furniture

While queuing at Seven Stars Corner (where Goldhawk Road meets Paddenswick Road), I’ve always been intrigued by The Chairman & Son. An upholstery business, usually with furniture piled high in the window, it has always looked a fascinating place to poke about.

‘Upholstery is our bread and butter, but that’s not all we do,’ smiles the Manager, Sam Harris. ‘Our upholsterers, Simon and “Magic”, can breathe new life into furniture – sofas, chairs, footstools, headboards, ottomans – in any fabric or style. It can get chaotic when we’re busy, but that adds to the character of the business! At the moment, we’re doing a complete makeover on a rocking horse in burgundy-coloured velvet.

‘In addition, since we have our own framemaker, we build bespoke furniture in traditional and modern designs for both private and corporate clients. For example, we specialise in classically English Howard-style sofas and we’ve been commissioned to make banquette seating. We also sell one-off pieces and, if a client wants to source a particular item, we can help track it down. We have excellent contacts in the trade!’

KEEP THINGS LOCAL IS A MEDIA BUSINESS WITH A UNIQUE LOCAL FOCUS

The company publishes four flagship magazines (Chelsea Locals, Chiswick Locals, Richmond Locals and Hammersmith Locals) with more launches planned in London and across the UK. The prime focus of each of these quarterly magazines is to showcase and support the independent traders and small businesses who do so much to give these areas their individual retail character and community spirit. This is achieved through dedicated advertorials which are written, designed and photographed by an experienced team lead by Neil McKelvie.

In every issue, these advertorials are complemented by feature articles which turn the spotlight on different aspects of neighbourhood life and interviews with notable local figures.In addition to appearing in the magazines, every advertorial is also published in the Keep Things Local newsletters, on the website and on social media. Get in touch to be featured in our Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring issues.
