Here’s a Birds-Eye view of a pair of D.I.M chairs we recently restored. @ezg.designs had us upholster the inside backs so the birds on each chair face one another, adding a touch of whimsy to these delicate, deco walnut treasures.

A pair of leather Cosi chairs with X-stitching detail is in works; this clip captures the beautiful dance between cutting, stitching, and upholstering, 3 core arts of our workroom. The covers for these chairs have to be fitted with the utmost precision to account for stretching and other factors dictated by the play of the leather and shape of the barrel back.
-
Cecilia is shown carefully threading the X-stitch into place while Jorge is well into the upholstery process on the first of the pair. The covers are sewn together and fitted to the chairs in a back-and-forth ritual that aims for perfection.

The exposed oak apron and delicate, open arms give distinction to these Mid-Century Danish style chairs. The upholstery work is minimalist but brings just enough shape to make these elements pop.

Mario puts the last few stitches on our showroom collection’s “NU” chair.
🔥
The goal here is to use iconic materials, namely the Ferrari red lacquer and Le Manach “Tigre Velours” velvet, to encase and spotlight the artisanship involved in building worldclass furniture. The springs, burlap, and stitchwork are the unheralded elements that give the structure and comfort to a well-made piece of furniture. Unheralded, and UNEXPOSED, until now!

It goes without saying that drawings play a helpfu

It goes without saying that drawings play a helpful role in the design and build process. But building one-off furniture pieces strictly from a drawing is often difficult and sometimes unachievable. Thus, our goal is for the client to be involved in the entire process, so all details are confirmed as we work. Workroom visits are the ideal way to collaborate, but a client’s schedule or location can make visits impractical.
-
In the case of the chaise lounge pictured here, our client is West-Coast based, making quick visits impossible. We drew the shape of both unequal arms onto the frame itself for the client to review, tweak if necessary, and approve. We rely on our experience to sculpt what we think will look best, based on the size and scale.

The arch is one of the most enduring symbols and architectural features of civilization, striking the perfect harmony between beauty and function. This Coffee Table/Ottoman commissioned by @brianjmccarthyinc @jared_austin is no exception.
-
Designed with multi-functionality in mind, we constructed it with hand tied springs and handstitched horsehair so the top would be suitable both as a table and comfortable seat. It has a walnut shelf for storage and the interior cavity is upholstered in a contrast leather. But the piece de resistance is the oscillating bead detail around the bottom perimeter, water gilded by @janehenrystudios.
-
Our frame makers also deserve high accolades for this build. The arches are not only oscillating, but also bend and stretch along a circular plane. Not an easy undertaking! #jandp_upholstery #thehighartofhandcraftedfurniture #customottoman #arch #coffeetable #watergilding #JPworkroom
