Who is Collate?
Collate is a creative workshop based in the countryside between Axminster and Chard on the Devon Somerset borders. The offering includes upholstery, reupholstery, restoration and other creative services. This includes upholstery conservation/restoration and consolidation and we can restore small pieces of antique furniture and related items.
Owned and run Naomi who originally trained at West Dean College, studying on their Furniture Conservation Postgraduate. She then went on to work for well known heritage organisations, prestigious auction houses and established antiques dealers. She trained with the AMUSF to gain her upholstery qualification.
After closing the bricks and mortar shop she has now reopened her workshop, returning back to her original training. If you would like to follow along with goings on in the workshop please follow Collate on Instagram. You can also read about past projects on the Musings blog page.
The Bricks & Mortar Shop is now closed
You may have known Collate as an interiors shop in Axminster. Due to the incredibly challenging economic times, the shop had to closed in October 2022. The company has been reborn as an upholstery and creative workshop, trading under the same name.
