Amber and Jade
Two Sisters Passionate About Design
The best thing about good design is that it lasts forever. In a world full of disposable items our goal is to bring back the craftsmanship of upholstery to the 21st Century, changing mindsets to not view furniture as a throwaway item. Instead, creating works of art that can be passed down through generations
About Wells & White
Our Story
It all started as youngsters spending time with our grandparents; Nornie and Gandie.
Nornie passing on her love of fabrics, buying us our first sewing machine whilst at junior school. We would spend hours playing around with textiles and designing and making our own outfits. Gandie built our adoration for woodwork spending many weekends creating ‘masterpieces’ in his garage.
We followed our creative flare studying the Arts and Design Technology through to A’levels and carried on to Art College at Kent Institute of Art and Design.
Training with the Association of Master Upholders (AMUSF) and have professional skills and experience with both modern and traditional upholstery, which means we are able to give your pieces the love they deserve.
We now spend our time between teaching the AMUSF dipolma course in London’s renouned ‘Shoreditch Design Rooms’, holding leisure courses in our Kent classroom, as well as working on commerical and domestic commissions in our workshop.

About us
Having extensively trained in the art of upholstery, Amber is inspired by the story that comes with each piece of furniture. When working on a piece of furniture you can see the restorations carried out by others decades, sometimes centuries ago. When you contribute to restoring that piece and bringing it back to life you become part of its history for future generations to enjoy.
