We’re Alex and Emily — two upholsterers who crossed paths during the AMUSF Upholstery Diploma and haven’t stopped creating since. We bonded over a shared passion for craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and doing things differently.

At our core, we’re a proudly female-led business, blending traditional upholstery techniques with fresh, contemporary ideas. Each piece we work on is made with care, precision, and a whole lot of character.

Whether we’re bringing new life to a well-loved chair or crafting something completely bespoke, quality is always at the heart of what we do.

Meet the Makers

The thoughtful maker with a background in textile, fashion, and interior design. Alex brings a calm, detail-driven approach to every project and has a natural eye for fabrics and finishes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by fabric choices or need help with colour and texture, Alex is your go-to.

Emily
With a career rooted in marketing, Emily understands the power of identity and brings that energy into every piece. She’s passionate about colour combinations, clean design, and making things that feel both fresh and personal. You’ll often find her dreaming up new concepts or helping clients visualise their perfect piece.

Together, Alex and Emily blend their distinctive talents, creating a synergy that honours traditional upholstery techniques while embracing contemporary design, establishing JØYE Upholstery as a beacon of creativity and refinement in Bristol and the South West.
