A longtime client had a collection of European fabrics from Scalamandre, Brunschwig & Fils, and Pierre Frey — along with custom trim from Passementerie — and wanted them worked into new furnishings rather than replaced. The goal: sustainably designed custom pieces that honor what she already owned.
We repurposed the client's fabrics into custom-built furniture, added detailed trim work, and designed new pieces in our woodworking shop to complement the existing collection. Every piece was built to fit the room it lives in.
Fine fabrics given new frames instead of replacements. Custom trim woven through every detail. Woodwork cut and finished in our own shop, built to fit the rooms it lives in. Traditional lines, sustainable choices, and pieces made to outlast whatever the next renovation brings.
From the Homeowner
"We've had the pleasure of working with Valerie for the past 30 years, and her talent and professionalism continue to amaze us. She has designed two homes and an apartment for us, each one reflecting her incredible attention to detail and ability to bring a space to life. Valerie has a unique eye for balance and flow, and her creating something feel both refined and inviting. We could not recommend Valerie and the team at Wingate Ltd. more highly."
