Production

We are your system partner.

We are passionate about producing individual upholstered components or taking on the manufacture of entire product lines. Large series or very small series, just-in-time production or retail goods: we step in exactly where you need us.

01

Frame preparation

Frame preparation processes and assembles frames made of wood and metal, meaning steel, aluminium and precision castings. In our in-house joinery, we build carcasses and frames for the inner structure of the furniture to our customers' specifications.

Foam bonding

Combining the stretch and adhesion properties of different materials so that comfort and seating feel are just right is a science in itself. We bond with extensive know-how, using solvent-based or heat-activated adhesives and sustainable alternatives such as solvent-free, water-based dispersion bonding.

Cutting

In our cutting department, we process high-quality upholstery fabrics of every kind and leather of every quality grade: by hand, with a rotary knife, by die-cutting or as fully automated multi-ply cutting on our cutter. For every order and every batch size, we look for the most economical solution.

Final inspection

Every product that leaves our factory is checked in several stages. The last checkpoint is final inspection: here we examine every piece once more to make sure it is flawless. Only then do we prepare the furniture for shipping.
