Éireann Upholstery, our latest venture was born due to the fact that, through our working experience over the past 3 decades, we observed our upholstery clients craved a bespoke finish combined with quality and comfort. Éireann Upholstery was established, to give an unique bespoke upholstery service to our clients, who require the best of craftsmanship and expertise, using traditional and modern methods.
