THE SKILLED HAND OF THE UPHOLSTERER IN THE FACTORY OF TODAY

Combining ancient techniques in the industrial setting

Once upon a time there was the upholsterer, who built an armchair and a sofa starting from the internal structure, a frame made of a well seasoned wood. The body was made of solid, strong wood to guarantee the stability of the structure and the sides in a lighter weight but resistant wood ensuring that it would last forever.
And then there was the fundamental phase of the cushioning, where our upholsterer began to create the softness and strength necessary to give maximum comfort to the seat before proceeding to the upholstered finish.

And this in fact is still the procedure; then, after completing the structure with its solidity and durability, rich in carvings and gilding, we proceed by first covering the seat with a layer of soft fabric. We continue by placing layers of HR (High Resilience) polyurethane differing in  degrees of density. These layers, together with the softness of goose down, pleasantly accompany the seat, catering for the specific pressures exerted by different parts of the body. The backrest is also padded with layers of polyurethane, although different from those of the seat, being subjected to less pressure. And now we are finally ready to make our sofas and armchairs shimmer with silks and velvets.
