Double R Design is a furniture design business based in Brooklyn, NY and the North Fork of Long Island, specializing in giving old pieces of furniture new life through creative reupholstery and bold design choices. With a focus on sustainability, the business sources locally made fabrics and works with independent textile designers to offer fresh and modern pieces that reflect the personalities of their clients. Founder Rachael, with a background in fashion design and a passion for preserving the history and value of vintage furniture, leads a team of local artisans in restoring pieces that are built to last for generations to come.
Founded in 2020, Double R Design was born out of Rachael’s desire to reinvent used furniture and create pieces that evoke joy and comfort while reducing the negative environmental impact of society. With a background in fashion design and experience working with Italian textile mills, Rachael brings a unique perspective to furniture design, blending creativity, craftsmanship, and sustainability. The business aims to repurpose older furniture, some of which is over a century old, by restoring them with care, skill, and good taste to offer clients pieces that are not only beautiful but also have a rich history and story to tell.
Double R Design’s philosophy revolves around investing in well-built vintage pieces, making responsible choices in design, and creating furniture that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally resonant. By combining Rachael’s expertise in design with a commitment to sustainability and quality craftsmanship, the business strives to build a better, more sustainable future while offering clients the opportunity to bring unique, long-lasting pieces into their homes. With a focus on preserving the past and designing for the future, Double R Design continues to redefine the concept of furniture design through creativity, innovation, and a deep respect for history.
