press comments

Leclere has her own collection, but works to commission as well. She is keen to point out that she's a designer rather than a furniture restorer, and while she often sources furniture herself - favouring the simple, elegant lines of the midcentury and using contacts in France to bring over pieces, such as 1940s Bridge chairs, which are difficult to find in Britain - she will also work on pieces brought to her by clients.

Commissioning Leclere is a deeply collaborative process, but if you share her pared-down yet glamorous aesthetic then you are assured an heirloom piece. An if you don't want an upscycled chair, she also makes headboards and screens. In fact, folding screens are a particular passion.
