If you love unique furniture look no further than Charlotte Clemence. After her redundancy from financial HR, her husband encouraged her to follow her passion for upcyling and upholstery and, two years later, it’s proved to be a great career move. ‘I work with vintage furniture and take them back to their original state using amazing fabrics such as Fornasetti and Missoni. I’m quite exclusive and I only ever do one-offs. And I do see them as art really – I don’t like sitting on my chairs,’ she reveals.

Why buy now?

Not only will you be the owner of a truly individual item, but you can now purchase Charlotte’s beautifully upholstered lamps, chairs and cushions with 30 per cent off. Charlotte’s favourite piece is her Molly boudoir chair (£270), above, which is upholstered in a romantic Fornasetti print.

See her vibrant designs, full of character and quirkiness, at the Homeworks Fair at the 20th Century Theatre (Thu 25 Nov–Fri 26 Nov).
