Commercial Upholstery & Specialty Finishes
Banquettes, cushions, upholstered panels, and seating components, upholstered in-house in our Easton facility by the same shop that builds the millwork underneath them. COM fabrics, commercial vinyls, and fire-rated materials for libraries, hospitality, offices, and public spaces.
Selected Project Work
Petworth Neighborhood Library – a 15′ x 22′ reading center of two-level curved benches, perfectly centered on the window. Built on plywood carcasses in our Easton shop, delivered by crane through a second-floor window, and finished with matching cushions in Mayer Fabrics Algae (Midway).
What We Upholster
Banquettes & Built-In Seating
Banquettes and built-in seating where the bench and the upholstery come from the same shop, so the cushion fits the millwork exactly.
Cushions & Seating Components
Shaped and curved cushions, seat pads, and seating components, including complex profiles that follow the millwork they sit on.
Upholstered Panels
Upholstered wall panels and soft surfaces integrated with millwork and casework scopes.
Materials & Fire Ratings
COM fabrics, commercial vinyls, and fire-rated fabrics, worked to the specified material or sourced against your finish schedule.
Reupholstery & Foam Replacement
Existing commercial seating rebuilt in-house: new foam, new fabric, and repairs that cost less than replacement.
Specialty Fabric Finish Work
Fabric-wrapped details and one-off soft finish work that doesn’t fit a standard category, quoted from a drawing or a photo.
Why Upholstery Belongs in the Millwork Shop
When a banquette comes from one vendor and its cushions from another, the seam between them is where projects go sideways: cushions that don’t follow the curve, radiused corners that don’t match, two schedules that don’t line up. Our upholstery bench sits in the same Easton facility as the millwork shop, so the bench and its cushion are templated against each other and arrive as one finished piece. The Petworth reading center’s two-level curved benches are exactly that: complex curved cushions, built to the bench.
How an Upholstery Scope Runs
01 · Send the Scope – Drawings, a fabric spec, or photos of existing seating. COM fabric is welcome; we can also source against your finish schedule.
02 · Materials – Fabric, vinyl, or fire-rated material confirmed, with foam selected for the use and traffic level.
03 · Template & Build – Templated against the millwork where there is millwork, then cut, sewn, and upholstered in Easton.
04 · Install – Delivered and installed with the related millwork, or handed off ready to place.
05 · Reupholstery Path – For existing seating: pickup or site visit, foam and fabric rebuilt in-house, returned ready for service.
06 · Closeout – Fit, seams, and finish checked against the millwork before the scope closes.
Our Commitment
Fabric runs short, foam specs change, and existing pieces hide surprises under the old cover – soft goods have their own field conditions. We promise an accountable process: materials confirmed before cutting, templating against the actual millwork, and fit checked before the scope closes. When an issue arises, we communicate it and bring a recovery plan.
