Olek, Inc. in
City of Orange Township (NJ)

STUNNED!!! Pleasantly! After a protracted storage period for some treasured furnishings, I had the unfortunate experience of seeing the effects of time, lack of care and the elements had on them. From rust to degraded fabric and components (wheels, casters, wiring) to chipped, faded wood and brass trim. I feel extremely lucky to have found Olek, Inc. in Orange, New Jersey. As I sent photos of an Herman Miller Eames office chair, Knoll Albini desk, Anglepoise Floor and table lamps and a unique Art Deco Rosewood side table they quickly offered to restore all of them with confidence. EVEN after seeing them in person. They worked to explain the processes required since I honestly thought these were all "lost" for good. Thrilled to report that was not the case. As a matter of fact, I am posting here willingly because of the outstanding result on every single piece. Not only has every piece been restored to the original beauty but the Rosewood table specifically (made of a combination of Rosewood, steel plates and casters as wheels) looks better than when originally bought. I cannot express how pleased I am with the results. Cleary Peter and his team are extremely professional. They took the time and care to bring these pieces back from what I assumed was disrepair (if not despair). As importantly, they listened. DTEN

Olek, Inc. restored and reupholstered a vintage Eames lounge and ottoman for my client with beautiful results. They have a deep knowledge of the various versions and constructions of the piece, and offer excellent communication about the process. We took advantage of their pickup and delivery service, and opted for a leather from their offerings that is true to the style of the original piece. I would highly recommend Olek for reupholstery services and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

The nice folks at Olek have now done two jobs for me; both restorations of Eames side chairs. The work they did was excellent, there was good turn around time, and they communicated with me very quickly. I'm really happy to have found such a professional operation for furniture restoration and I highly recommend them.

Outstanding! I had a 1970s leather barrel chair repaired -- new cushioning for the seat and part of the leather replaced. The seat feels totally comfortable and the leather is a perfect match. I also had 1980s dining room chairs repaired -- new seat cushioning and new fabric. This, also, was a perfect repair job. The skills of the folks at this shop are off the charts excellent! Plus, Peter, Yan, the technicians I met, and even the dogs, are all very cool. Unique!

My mother owns an antique black lacquered coffee table with three porcelain medallions. The table had seen better days with the lacquer flaking off, joints becoming unstable and overall this beautiful piece looked rough. I brought the table to Olek’s furniture restoration shop and they detailed all of work required and the inlays and colors used. After many painstaking weeks and many emails, Peter and his team returned the table back to my mom. To say we did not recognize it would be an understatement. The table did not look shiny and new but age appropriate and pristine. It was gorgeous! We get countless compliments and have had several offers to buy the table. I would recommend Olek to anyone serious about having their furniture professionally and expertly restored. You will not be disappointed.

First class experience all around. A beautiful repair to our iconic Eames lounge chair. After the initial shockmount repair, we had Olek precisely restore upholstery and the original rosewood -- looks spectacular! Wonderful customer service as well — highly recommend.

We had two very unusual objects in very bad shape. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a feeling that these two repairs would be in good hands. The results are amazing! This made a very special gift to my husband as both objects were family heirlooms. He was thrilled. I appreciate the professionalism, high quality repair and stellar skill set of all those craftsman who are part of OLEK. If you have the money to take care of something really special, this is the place to get it done, and done extremely well! I am thankful for these people!

I have a V. Kagan 175 E armchair that was literally falling apart- the wood was separating at the joins and the leather seat and padding were shot- Peter at Olek did and amazing job bringing it back to "like new." They aren't cheap, but the quality is so worth it- I highly recommend them for mid-century furniture restorations!

I bought my Eames Chair in 1989. Its been reasonably well cared for but used almost daily for all those years. Olek has been my go to for all necessary service on the chair. I can't say enough good about Peter and his company. They're very professional. They communicate with you as to what needs to be done This last work was replacing the cushions on both the ottoman and the chair. The leather matches perfectly. Thanks Peter and all for a making my chair whole again.

Olek did a wonderful job restoring my grandmothers Federal Period secretary desk to its former glory. The desk was badly water damaged and they were able to make it look like new! We are so happy with the final results.

If you have furniture that needs to be refinished, Olek Restoration does an excellent job. The craftspeople are experts-- Peter was able to explain the process to me clearly and accurately. Our table and chairs now look amazing. The finish is perfect- the texture of the wood really comes through. Olek also restored our little rocking chair for the next generation. Everything looks great in a completely natural and gentle way. I highly recommend Olek.

Peter and the team at Olek did amazing work refinishing, rebuilding, and reweaving chairs I received from my parents. Now they are ready for the next 50 years of everyday use. They are absolutely gorgeous, a pleasure to sit in, and look brand new, but with the memories of growing up with them. Wonderful work, amazing craftspeople with evident respect for the art and tradition of the pieces they work on.

When my vintage Eames lounge chair suddenly broke in two I found several places that claimed to specialize in such restoration. I am so glad that I picked Oleck. Peter Triestman and the men he works with are true artists and experts at furniture restoration. I would trust them with furniture from any period and plan on bringing them other fine furniture I have that needs serious repair. They returned all of my emails quickly, answered questions, and picked up and returned the furniture in great time. Thank you Olek!

This is the second time that I have had Olek reupholster a few of my sofas, each time I have been astonished at the stunning work. Everything is perfect, not only the furniture, but the customer service, their professionalism, the time it takes to complete, the pick up and delivery, Yan in accounting and Peter, well he is simply wonderful. I cannot imagine ever using anyone but Olek. Thank you!

My Park Avenue client needed a custom carved mantel mirror and additional repairs to his antique mantelpiece. Olek was able to provide the nicest, incredibly talented wood craftsman I have ever had the pleasure to work with. We watched Yuri do work on site and were simply enthralled with his professionalism and surprisingly quick work. I just want to find more work for him; it was so fun. Thank you to Mr.Triestman for organizing the work and keeping us on track.

Wonderful service …from my initial conversation regarding the work that needed to be done on my chairs to the pickup and delivery of my newly restored chairs (from 1950’s teak and upholstered … needed the chair joints tightened) all was done professionally and courteously. Could not be happier with Olek Inc and Peter and his crew. Would highly recommend. The company has been doing this for many years now and they definitely do fine work!

Olek team did an amazing job on my vintage Eames Lounge and Ottoman. I highly recommend them. David was also a really good client representative and answered all my questions quickly.

We have been wanting to properly repair and upholster a 1960's era Eames chair and Ottoman for many years. We've been looking for someone who understands both leather and the mid-century design. Olek fills this niche perfectly. Our chair was given to me by a mentor, and we wanted it repaired and refurbished without compromising the original structure and materials. Olek knows Eames. They understand the materials, how the chair is constructed, and how to properly repair damage. Their repairs are in keeping with the original design intent, including using high quality leather and carefully preserving what they can from the original chair. Thank you for the quality workmanship, your care, and keeping us apprised of the work as it progressed.

My genuine Herman Miller rosewood Eames chair and ottoman dating from 1979 was in need of reupholstering. I also had 3 cushions from my Corbusier LC2 sofa that were worn. Based on a Google search and reviews, I blindly sent off my valuable furniture to Olek for repair. Boy did I luck out! David and Peter kept me apprised of their progress along the way and the results are stunning! The leather is exactly the same as the original leather circa 1979 (not the lower-grade leather currently used by Herman Miller). It's butter soft and beautiful. I highly recommend Olek, especially if you're refurbishing mid-century furniture like the classic Eames lounge chair.

Extremely Talented Team! I started off talking to the owner Peter, who responded promptly to my request and after sharing some photos, provided me with a quote and put me in touch with David. David, who's friendly personality instantly clicked with me took care of all the details and arranged the pickup and the delivery. David was responsive, knowledgeable, and comforting. Dexter picked up and delivered the pieces. Dexter is one of the nicest, friendliest, most careful delivery people I've ever worked with. He lovingly wrapped all the pieces and somehow fit them perfectly into this small minivan then brought them back even more lovingly and placed each one carefully into position in my home. The work done by OLEK was exceptional! I loved these pieces in my grandmothers home as a child, then they were passed on to my mother, then passed to me. Well worn with time and use, veneer missing in many places, crazed surfaced. I am pleased to say that now they look amazing! I have attached before and after pictures of the pieces. Thank you Peter and your wonderful team at OLEK!

When the cane seat of our antique settee finally gave way, I was devastated. I loved that little bench! I did some research to find a company that could take out the old caning and re-do the seat. It would be painstaking hand work. Olek Inc. came to the rescue! Peter was professional and asked numerous questions before thoughtfully putting together a proposal and a price. I picked up the bench this morning. The workmanship was beautiful! The bench looks amazing! And there were no surprise cost increases or delays! I highly recommend Olek for any and all furniture restoration projects. I will use them again!

We had an original DCW Eames chair with the back fallen off due to deterioration of the mounts. Also it had been carelessly repainted to cover up who knows what, back in the day. Olek reattached the back and refinished the red color to its original state. Olek was fair, honest, and direct in their dealings. The work was impeccable and timely. The best recommendation is "no complaints," which is another way of saying, "everything fully realized as promised with no hassles." They've earned our trust for any restoration we might ever need.

Our Eames-like lounge chair and ottoman were in sad shape after 30+ years of lounging and elevating feet. We couldn’t let it go though. The craftsmen at Olek did a terrific job re-upholstering, re-finishing and adjusting, and our contact David was very helpful and responsive. The chair is home again in great shape and I hope my children will enjoy it for another 30.

They did a very good job restoring my grandfather's Danish teak and leather chair. David was very good about communicating options along the way and the result was amazing!

It’s taken me way too long to acknowledge the extraordinary job these miracle workers did on my Hans Wegner Shellback chair, but now that I’ve been living with it for a while, I can say that I feel grateful to them each time I sit on it or gaze adoringly at it from across the room. They repaired and rebuilt the frame, rewove the seat, and honored my request to leave the old finish as it was, even giving me instructions on how to do it myself in case I ever want to. They communicated clearly throughout the process, promptly answered all of my questions, were a pleasure to deal with, and completed the beautiful job faster than promised at a reasonable price. They even sent photos of the process so I was able to enjoy watching it be reborn. I can’t recommend Peter and his crew highly enough. Here are the before and after shots – Martha Glenn

My father gave me his Eames chair with ottoman many years ago. When I brought it to my home and went to sit in it, the rubber attachments that hold the chair back to the chair base were so old and dried out that I fell backward through the chair. I looked for a good company that could repair it and call Olek. The people at this company are so, so nice. They really take the time to look at your piece and tell you exactly what has to be done. Olek told me that it needed a few things. The newer better rubber mounts, some wood repair from age and use (that was apparent) and I wanted it recovered from the black vinyl that dad had it recovered in decades ago to an appropriate black leather. It cost me about $3,800.00, but it's not worth about $14,000 based on two things. It looks new and it's a first series, low serial number edition which the metal decals on the bottom of the chair say it is. Thank you Olek and your team for doing such a wonderful job. I love the chair.

Excellent overall repair of my 1973 Eames chair! The rosewood has a slight 'scar' but is not visible from 2-3 feet away. I appreciate the work and effort that goes into restoring an older chair like this and will recommend this service to everyone I know. Thanks again!
