Enjoy your leather lounge suite, for longer!


Imagine sitting down on your leather lounge suite every night smelling that sweet smell of new leather, looking at it you think 'wow it looks as good as new'! (There's nothing quite like the smell of new leather, is there?)

I interviewed Bruce Bryant of South Auckland last year about leather furniture and he said:  “I have spent the last 12 years cleaning, repairing and re-dyeing leather in NZ”  (Bruce’s company has more than 32 years of solid industry experience, in the vehicle, aircraft, marine and residential markets.)  "I know that leather can last forever if cleaned and protected regularly."

A New Zealand Company Success Story: Carl's Jr.



I recently met with Darren Willmoth, Repairs and Maintenance Manager for Restaurant Brands, who was telling me about the success of their NZ owned company in the New Zealand market.

Restaurant Brands has opened their Carl’s Jr. store in Palmerston North last December which followed a first Carl’s Jr restaurant opening in Auckland in November -  situated on Bader Drive in Mangere.

Our Work


It's one thing reading about what we do, but it's another to SEE what we can do for you. We can do a lot.

We can spruce up your leather or fabric to make it look new again by cleaning and repairing it. If you have repairs that need to be done, we are more than capable of taking care of it. Of course we can recover your existing furniture too.



But UFO can do more than that. If you have a space that you are not sure about, we can custom design and fit it to maximise the area, either at your home or work place.

Then there is the restoration of classic pieces. I fully endorse restoring well made furniture.  More often than not these pieces were well made in the first place, and will provide many more years of enjoyment if restored.



Sometimes when you peel off the top layer you find an endless array of things that might be wrong, we will put those right, quick smart.



Our speciality however, is your business. We can repair, or customise anything you need, and we do a good job of it.

Upholstery and Office Productivity



Business is all about productivity. The more productive your team, the bigger your results. So how can upholstery play a part in that? Acoustics.

When you think of an office space you most likely think of an open plan office. They have a smaller footprint, and on average, are easier on the budget when it comes to fitting it out -  when compared to individual offices. But open plan offices are noisy and distracting.
