our mission
At Cha Studios, we create considered interiors through bespoke window furnishings, soft furnishings and upholstery that balance beauty with function. Our work is guided by craftsmanship, thoughtful design with each piece made to meet the expectations of our clients and the demands of everyday living.
We believe in furniture that improves with age — made to be lived in, not replaced. In a world of fast furniture, we honour upholstery techniques that prioritise quality, longevity and care. Our approach brings character, comfort and soul back into interiors.
Founded from a deep passion for textiles and detail, Cha Studios draws on experience across fashion, design and high-end soft furnishings. Our process is collaborative and people-focused, grounded in listening and clear communication. Whether refreshing a single space or delivering a whole-home project, we work with trusted Australian manufacturers and specialists to achieve refined, enduring results.

FOUNDER, Louise HongI thrive on community and the connections it fosters, relishing in the creation of environments where people can come together”
Hey!
I'm Lou.
I started my career as a fashion designer, spanning over 12 years honing my craft, in Italy, Canada, and Hong Kong. I've had the privilege of working with renowned brands like Guess Jeans and Aritzia. After experiencing burnout, I embarked on a five year adventure through Central and South America, living in a van in Mexico and immersing myself in handcrafted textiles.
I found myself captivated by the artistry of handcrafts, scouring markets and remote villages to connect with artisans to develop textiles. When life threw a curveball, I found myself back in Australia, drawn to the lifestyle of Byron Bay.
My love for textiles has taken me across the globe and back, culminating in the birth of Cha Studios. Here, I have the opportunity to share my passion for textiles, hand crafting and the art of slow furniture, all while striving for sustainability.
are you ready?
