Vintage Furniture Re-upholstered That Speaks To You From Voici!




Voici! is the new-born child of Los Angeles gallery voila! A highly individual line of limited edition handcrafted upholstery pieces from LA-based Belgian native madame voila! (alias Katrien Van der Schueren) and UK-based madame voici! (alias Jo Laurie).



Using vintage fabrics gathered during travels around the globe, they re-upholster and re-finish vintage furniture, so that they are born again with a new persona. If they can’t find the appropriate pieces or don’t have the right fabric to play with, they create their own toys.

Of their many unusual pieces, the Wordy collection of furnishings with silk-screened quotes from the likes of Oscar Wilde and Albert Einstein printed in a cream, silver or white typewritten font on soft cotton denim is one of my favorites.

The Wordy Double Seater I:




A voici! limited edition piece. They took a low, vintage two-seater sofa and gave it the voici! touch. The soft denim cotton fabric has hand-silk screened designs on the cushions of inspirational quotes by famous leaders and innovators. Ask about getting these quotes put on a fabric of your choice.
