About axelle young studio
 

I am a designer, maker and upholsterer based in Lower Clapton, London. I moved from New York, where I trained as an Interior Designer, to London after accidentally falling in love with a Brit (I married him, it was well worth the one way ticket!). Nobody who knows me and my fetish for chairs will be surprised that I then fell into upholstery.

I have now set up my own home studio where I restore and upholster furniture both on spec and commissioned by a growing network of clients.

I also make a range of soft furnishings under the label Hels Banana. This isn’t just because I love making lovely things, it also means that all the amazing upholstery fabrics I have access to get to live a second life as cushions, pouches, bags and other items I develop from time to time. Every piece is unique and you can buy them right here on this site.

I hope you enjoy looking through the site.

Thanks! Take care of yourselves,

Axelle
