The Maker City – Custom Manufacturing

My motto is, “It’s your furniture, but better!”  Essentially, someone will bring me their chair/sofa and I’ll tear it back to the frame, removing all of the old upholstery and, if needed, the padding and springs. In that case, I’ll hand-tie the new springs and replace all of the padding, then add fabric to the body of the frame, create the cushions and sew their casings.  

It’s truly the small nuances that differentiate one shop from another. At Knox Upholstery I’m going to notice the slight grain in the fabric and make sure it’s running straight. Decorative nails are going to run smoothly in one straight line and patterns are going to match whether you see them or not. I pride myself on the small details and want each one to be perfect.
