Meet Gerrarda and her team.

A few years ago, Gerrarda decided to switch careers and start working with her hands. With knowledge from working in garments and her technical insight, she decided to take over furniture upholsterer De Oude Leeuw.

With over 40 years of legacy, De Oude Leeuw is a sanctuary for those seeking to breathe new life into both vintage and contemporary furniture pieces. Gerrarda and her team, fuelled by passion and a wealth of experience, offer services ranging from upholstery to restoration and upcycling.

The workshop, spread across a bustling basement and a dedicated upper floor, is a testament to the craft. Sewing machines stand poised for intricate tasks, surrounded by foam rubber stacks and an array of tools like hammers, pliers, and razor-sharp scissors. But it's not just about work here. The inviting ambiance of De Oude Leeuw sees customers often lingering, selecting fabrics and unwinding with a comforting cup of coffee, enchanted by the warmth and craftsmanship around them.
