The motif is cut into the cloth. What stands proud of the surface was
never added to it — it is the ground itself, held open. Nothing is
laminated, glued or backed, so nothing can lift, bubble or peel over a
contract lifetime.
02 — The constraint
Tension is the one decision that cannot be undone.
Too little and the motif lies flat. Too much and the ground tears. It is
set by hand, once, on every piece — which is why a commission is
quoted by hours, not by square metres.
03 — What it becomes
Four ways it has been asked for.
Headboards
A single motif at bed width, cut across the full panel. One piece per
room, or one motif repeated with a different number on each.
Suites · boutique hotels
Banquettes & seating
Cut panels set into the backs of fixed seating, where a guest meets
the surface at close range for two hours at a time.
Restaurants · bars · lounges
Wall pieces
Stretched and framed, read as artwork rather than upholstery. The
largest format the method takes, and the one that shows the edge best.
Lobbies · corridors · private rooms
Monograms & marks
A house mark, a crest or a room number, cut rather than stitched.
Smallest in scale, and usually the first commission a house orders.
Cushions · throws · turndown pieces
04 — How it runs
Nothing is cut before you have seen it.
Step oneYou send the space, the motif or the mark
Step twoA cutting drawing comes back, to scale
Step threeYou approve it. Only then is fabric opened

NumberingEach piece marked by hand
Commercial work is quoted before anything is made and is not returnable,
because each piece is cut for one space and fits no other.

Tell the atelier about the space.
