We are Eric and Jane Robertson, we combine our skills to breathe new life into things that have been discarded by other people. We work with objects that evoke nostalgia, and generally linger in the back of the cupboard or are under threat of being replaced or discarded because they have had their day.
Eric learnt his electrical skills as a boy - trained by his uncle he learned by making indicators for his push bike, a xylophone, and a transformer for his train set were just some of the fun projects which created the foundations for the knowledge he now applies to his steampunk style lighting made from salvage.

Initially thought I would look for Ercol on line, buy it and then have it refurbished but then realised I would have difficulty collecting it as it could be anywhere in the country and I only have a normal sized car. Also realised I didn't know what to look for and may make a bad purchase. Solution ... let the experts source and refurbish the Ercol for me. It worked perfectly, Jane and Eric found a day bed, 2 matching chairs and a footstool. The footstool fits onto either of the chairs effectively making it into a Chaise Longue. There is also a very similar third chair which I will mainly use for

We have bought loads of items from JaneR Designs, also commissioned them to make some bespoke lighting for home and office. Jane and Eric are always a pleasure to deal with, I have nothing but praise for them both and would not hesitate to recommend their work.
Here are a couple of examples of their work – check these out!

Have bought a few items from JaneR in the past. All quirky one offs and to my taste or gifts for friends.
I loved this little sink with tap, exactly fitting for my garden. Bought an extra one for my daughter hoping I could have 2 if she didn't like it! So obviously I still only have the 1!
Great service, delivered to our doors and easy payment during lockdown
Well recommend.

Jane and Eric are fantastic, flexible, talented (by the bucket load) and do exactly what they say they’re going to do. I have many pieces of theirs that I have bought over the years as well as all the repairs and up-cycling they’ve done for me. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks to you both. ❤️
