Honoring Tradition. Fine Craftsmanship.
MADE IN SAN FRANCISCO
Each furniture imbue a character of its own. In upholstering, the stripping process allows us to better understand the form and structure of an upholstered piece - it gives us a broader perspective of how best we should approach the re-upholstery work...in the right rhythm.
One of the soundtracks at our studio.
It's still predominantly in the warm 70s in Burlingame, hence, our store window display is all bundled up for Fall!
Last few days before we take down our summer inspired store window display...we are all geared up for autumn! photos soon!
There's something about how a chaise comes off appealingly voluptuous yet in a warm nonchalant way...the fox edge detail on this chaise that we are currently working on elevates the look with a subtle sense of sophistication.
Back in May we attended the Highlands Eichler Home Tour in San Mateo. The featured limited art print by Brooke Deane was showcased at the tour. We can’t help but pleasantly notice the young couple surrounded by an Eames Lounge Chair, Noguchi Table, and Jacobsen Egg Chair. It reminds us that these historic homes native to the San Francisco Bay Area are like jewelry boxes that hold some of the most precious pieces of mid-century modern furniture. If you love Eichlers or perhaps you live in one, come and see us. As enthusiasts we’d love to know what’s in your jewelry box!

Privileged to be working on this rare Hans Wegner rocker.
'Tis the season to be busy...and our studio is feeling the crunch as projects begin to trickle in bountifully. Fall is here!
The Tulip Chair & Table by Eero Saarinen is one of the most beloved pieces of furniture. We continue to marvel at its delicate and sleek structure. Steel construction not only revolutionized modern architecture, it changed the way we view minimalism, beauty, and function at the same time.
Often, we get to work on these pieces. Whether it’s touching up a base or tabletop or making new seat cushions, no job is too simple or small. We equally enjoy working on modern pieces like the Tulip chair as much as a heavily carved Baroque period chair. No contrast of style is too great for us. We love “Tulips” but daisies and roses we love, too!
High tech innovation is not just for computers and cell phones, it also applies to textiles. Recycled, biodegradable, off gassing, and “cradle-to-cradle” are some terms commonly used in upholstery fabric. Practicing sustainability in our everyday lives is good for our health and for our planet. Here is a article that introduces fabrics available in the market now!
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.
