Meet Austin Adabi of Club Chair and Fine Custom Upholstery in West LA

Today we’d like to introduce you to Austin Adabi.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Austin. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Started in 1979 building furniture continuing in furniture design and manufacturing.

Working with leather and leather restoration. All was a self-taught journey.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
No, Life is full of challenges, there are no achievements without obstacles. Believing in yourself and not give up.

Immigration and not knowing enough people was the biggest challenges.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Club Chair / Fine Custom Upholstery – what should we know?
We specialize in leather work. Custom built leather furniture especially Art Deco style leather furniture (club chairs, Loveseats, sofas) and leather restoration on vintage and antique pieces.

We restore a vintage or antique furniture (without replacing or reupholstering) keeping the authenticity and value of the piece and that set us apart from others.

Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My lovely wife in 30 years marriage.
