Conversation with Fola Agbalaya - Vintage Furniture Upholsterer
Manage episode 321264276 series 2977324
In this episode I talk to Fola Agbalaya, a vintage furniture upholsterer, with a passion for mid-century designs. Working from her South Manchester workshop, Fola sources furniture from all over Europe and breathes a new life back into each unique piece.
Originally from London, Fola talked to me about her dramatic career pivot in her late forties after a succesful career of working in HR. We talk about the creative pull and allowing ourselves to embrace it, the huge shift of leaving a stable career for a creative path and what it’s like when your initial plan fails.
If you’re considering making a change or trying out something new, Fola’s positivity and determination might just be the boost you need to hear, to take that chance. I came away from this chat feeling inspired and excited and I hope you do too.
Welcome to episode one of Season two, with upholsterer and pep talk extraordinaire, Fola Agbalaya.
