Story

About ModMen

We’ve been restoring since the 70’s*
ModMen was formed in 2016 by Cam after a lifelong passion for collecting and restoring antique and mid-century furniture. The son of a coach builder/cabinet maker Cam’s first major restoration project was a timber P-Class Yacht with his Father at the age of 7 in (1979*) sanding, fibre glassing, remaking damaged parts, gluing and re-finishing.

After working with his father in the building industry he moved to Hamilton Nimmo & Sons the agents for Steinway pianos in Wellington as a Piano technician and restorer. Pianos are renowned as both precision instruments and premium furniture. They use only the best timbers such as Rosewood, Burr Walnut and Mahogany & the most skilled trades’ people in each industry are sought by manufacturers in their building, cabinetry, refinishing and design.

He eventually moved onto Piano Workshop primarily as a Polisher and sales person, working on and re-polishing many hundreds of instruments in both French polish, lacquer and modern gloss finishes.
Some of these instruments can be in the $50,000+ range so quality craftsmanship and attention to detail were always imperative. After that he established a new Piano business and workshop which employed many staff and in the end was heavily management focussed which took him away from his true passion.

More recently Cam’s been involved in the fit out of some of Wellington’s finest bars and restoring pieces for his personal collection and leading design stores.
Modmen Furniture Restoration is taking Cam back to his true calling.

Restoring the past for our future
ModMen are passionate specialist in restoration, re polishing and refurbishment of mid-century modern, antique and traditional furniture.
As every piece has of furniture has a unique style & provenance we’re skilled at recognising and assessing each item to ensure that it’s finished sympathetically back to original without damaging value or integrity. Alternatively if your designer or eye tells you, on request we can colour match an item to something else.

As dictated by your item(s) of original finish and timber, ModMen use a range of techniques from spray finishing, French/hand polishing and Scandinavian teak oil methods sympathetic to the original intentions of the maker. We successfully achieve a range of finishes from Matte, Satin and full Mirror gloss, as well as traditional by hand artisan finishes including French Polish for all your antiques and treasured items, maintaining and in most cases improving their value.

Repairing
Maybe you have an item that’s been dropped or scratched by the movers, a table with coffee cup rings, a sideboard suffering water or sun damage, or you’ve inherited some family pieces that are scruffy or broken. ModMen have all of the tools, experience and skill necessary to completely restore and refinish your piece back to its former glory. Sticky drawers, broken and wobbly chairs, missing bits and bobs no problem.
Many mid-century pieces also incorporate metal frames, stainless and working mechanisms alongside timber, we work closely with a team of skilled local engineers to ensure the perfect result.

Upholstery
We work seamlessly with many of NZ’s leading upholstery experts who have access to fabulous range of designer and traditional fabrics. So from chair inserts, new foam, Retro armchair recovery thru to full leather recliners and couches, we’ve got your furniture items completely covered.
