For us it is extremely important to highlight that traditional upholstery is a matter of using traditional materials like horsehair, wadding, hemp or jute instead of foam. The techniques used and the result, in terms of quality and lifespan of the piece, are completely different compared to modern upholstery.

I would rather say that traditional upholstery is still strong in all art cities, as it is linked to their historical heritage. In Venice, as in Rome, Florence or Paris, there is an extraordinary amount of period pieces that can be restored only in the traditional way.

The most opulent Venetian palazzos used to decorate their walls with upholstered fabric mounted on a frame. This technique, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also grants thermic isolation, is still popular today, especially in luxury hotels.

Craftsmanship always requires passion. One of the most gratifying parts of our craft is restoring sacred furnishings, outstanding pieces dating back to the Renaissance or the Baroque era, from our incredible Venetian churches. It is an honour, a way for us to leave a small trace in history.
