The workshops
9 of them, each setting their own regions, lead times and prices. They build the sofas; we only draw the shapes.
Two workshops on the Oslofjord. Frames in kiln-dried pine, nothing stapled that could be doweled.
Built for houses with dogs. Removable covers on everything, and they will send you a spare set before you ask.
Four generations of frame-makers. Beech, webbing, and a horsehair pad on anything you are willing to wait for.
A former tram depot in Wedding. Everything is built to come apart again — they will not sell you a sofa that cannot leave the building.
Third-generation Tuscan upholstery. They still cut foam by hand because the machine gets the corners wrong.
Low-profile seating built to Japanese apartment dimensions. Nothing here is taller than it needs to be.
Low, wide and built for heat. Open-weave linens and a frame that does not mind a verandah.
Modular systems designed to be taken apart, moved up a Victorian staircase, and put back together.
Small-batch Pacific Northwest builds. Every frame is signed on the underside by whoever made it.
