PROFESSIONAL FURNITURE UPHOLSTERY & RE-UPHOLSTERY · UVITA, COSTA RICA
Furniture Worth Keeping,
Made Beautiful Again.
Custom Upholstery Crafted To Endure The Tropics.
Some Things Are Simply Different in Costa Rica
In the tropics, furniture is exposed to conditions it wasn’t always designed to withstand.
Intense sunlight, high humidity and heat place demanding conditions on both furniture and upholstery. And when beautiful, quality furniture is costly to replace, letting it go isn’t always the best solution.
Sometimes, a well-made piece deserves something different.
A new upholstery, carefully selected for the tropical climate, can completely transform the look, comfort and longevity of a piece.
European Craftsmanship, Made for Tropical Living
At Noëva, we bring European upholstery craftsmanship to the Costa Rican tropics.
We restore and reupholster existing furniture, create bespoke cushions and fitted covers, and carefully select materials for the environment in which each piece will live.
Every piece is individually crafted, with an uncompromising eye for proportion, finish and detail, combining traditional upholstery craftsmanship with materials chosen for tropical living.
Selected for the Tropics
Not every beautiful fabric is made for life in the tropics.
That is why Noëva works exclusively with carefully selected European fabric houses, including Casal, Güell Lamadrid, Milano Tessuti and Aldeco. Brands renowned for distinctive design, exceptional materials and collections that bring beauty and performance together.
For every piece, we select a fabric that not only complements its character and surroundings, but is also suited to the conditions in which it will be enjoyed every day.
European design.
Tropical performance.
Why Noëva
Noëva brings it all together.
My name, Noëlle, and Nova, a new beginning, a rebirth.
My renewed love for the craft.
Our new life in Costa Rica.
And twelve years of experience as an upholsterer in the Netherlands.
Everything I have learned, everything I find beautiful, and everything I am choosing again comes together in one new chapter.
Noëva is born.
How we work
From your piece to its new life.
01 — Tell Us About Your Piece
Tell us about your furniture, what you envision for it, and the space it belongs in.
02 — Together, We Explore
We look at its shape, how it will be used, the surrounding interior, and the fabrics that could bring it all together.
03 — Crafted by Hand
Your piece is upholstered personally by me, with care and attention to every detail.
04 — Made to Belong
The result is more than simply new upholstery. Your furniture takes on a renewed character, created to complement its surroundings and life in the tropics.
Words From Those Who Chose to Keep
“I restored the wooden parts of the chair myself, and Noëlle brought it back to life with beautiful new upholstery. She was incredibly helpful, gave excellent advice, and executed the upholstery perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
JOB VAN DER MOLEN
“If you want to give your sofa a new life, you expect a personal approach. Noëlle certainly delivers on that. Highly recommended!”
RENE VERHOEF
“We had 10 dining room chairs we couldn’t part with. They needed not only re-upholstering, but also a complete overhaul.
We had Noëlle take care of the entire restoration. She was very helpful with her advice, both on the choice of fabric and on everything else.
We are thrilled with the final result and would definitely recommend her to others.”
