A classic is hand made from sustainably milled New Zealand beech timber. It is glued, screwed and corner blocked. It has hand tied coil springs. This adds a longevity and extra comfort level.

A standard frame is hand made from sustainably milled New Zealand pine with the legs being made from NZ beech. It is glued, screwed and corner blocked. It has zig zag (no sag springs). It is a more economical frame to manufacture which is reflected in the price.

Both types of frames form the integral style of the piece, i.e. the timber is shaped to the roll of the arm or whatever the style. The foam and the upholstery are there for comfort and aesthetics, completing the piece.

Our frames are not composite cardboard, not composite timber, not stapled flat board box frames

Our frames are made from sustainably milled pine and beech hardwood.
They are glued screwed and corner blocked.
Traditional methods of hand tying springs are used on classic pieces.
Traditional upholstery methods are still used where appropriate

Our frames form the integral style with the foam and the upholstery completing the piece.

Our cushions are over locked on all seams. The seam allowance is generous enough to prevent it pulling out from the seam. All the cushions have liners either made from calico for ergo fill cushions or with down proof cambric for feather fill.

We use good quality high density foam on the arms of our furniture and this prevents it collapsing.

All outside arms are lined with Hessian to give strength to the fabric. If it is indented the Hessian takes the impact and helps prevent the fabric stretching.

All of our springs are covered with a spring protector cloth that prevents wear on the foam and internal materials.
