about
Experience Meets Creativity
New Image Upholstery (niu) was established in 1998 by brothers Nikita and Chris Ballas.
Soon afterwards they were joined by the experienced cutter/machinist Samira who "runs the show" as the workshop manager.
She is an expert in all aspects of upholstery and soft furnishings.
Her specialties: Tailor made slip covers and custom made cushions.
The niu team of upholsterers combines an extensive experience with specialty knowledge in all areas of
upholstery and re-upholstery. The senior upholsterer, Alexander Raile has 43 years of experience,
specialising in traditional upholstery including diamond buttoning. The other niu upholsterers
have a minimum of 20 years experience both in traditional and in modern methods of upholstery.
There is also an in-house French polisher and antique restorer.
No matter how big or small your project may be - residential or commercial, re-upholstery or
custom made - you can entrust it to niu. Especially when it comes to custom made furniture,
you can rely on the creative ideas and solutions to all your interior decoration needs.
