Sign of the times?

'Tis the season to be busy...and our studio is feeling the crunch as projects begin to trickle in bountifully. Fall is here!

Shapes and Surfaces in Seduction

Naturally as designers we have a broad sense for shapes, pattern, texture, color and light. These are the visual instruments that we often conduct together in our minds.

Sketches of Frank Gehry

Here's a really inspiring documentary about one of the greatest contemporary architects. Unconventional and thought provoking creativity, the Sketches of Frank Gehry  shows us how “scribbled” concepts turn into unimaginable grand structures. We're no Frank Gehry but what we do also requires us to use our imaginations through cardboard models and sketches. Visionary designer, Gari Camaisa, developed Tapiceria for designers and architects alike to incubate their ideas and let their imaginations roam free with no judgements; only solutions. Gari's approach to design is organic, thoughtful, and open-minded. Respecting traditional design principles yet challenging convention is the "sweet spot" for Gari and Tapiceria.

Pick A Fabric. Any Fabric?

There’s a variety of fabric out there so how do you choose the right one for you? We can help! Let us walk you through the selection process so you’ll not only love the fabric but it will coordinate with the other pieces of furniture you own. We carry a selection of wovens, patterns, linens, silks, velvets, and cotton-blends. We are not just upholstery experts but we are design experts that will assist you from concept to finished product. 

A Hybrid Showroom

Part workroom and part design-studio, Tapicería, which in Spanish means “upholsterer” is the heart of our showroom. We believe good design starts out with an artist, craftsman, and people who are passionate creating something truly authentic. Our showroom unconventionally highlights an old-world craft amidst a modern stage. Come by and meet co-owner and master upholsterer, Bernardino: skilled, experienced, and a performing artist in his own realm.
