Why Natural Materials Matter
Breathability
Natural fibers allow air to circulate freely, preventing moisture buildup and maintaining a comfortable seating surface year-round. This natural ventilation keeps furniture fresh and prevents the musty odors common with synthetic materials.
Durability
When properly maintained, natural padding materials can outlast synthetic alternatives by decades. Horsehair springs back to its original shape, while coconut coir maintains its structure even under constant use.
The Materials We Work With
Curled Horsehair
Known for its exceptional springiness and resilience, curled horsehair creates a supportive yet comfortable foundation. Each strand naturally curls, creating tiny air pockets that enhance breathability.
Coconut Coir
Derived from coconut husks, this fibrous material offers excellent moisture-wicking properties. It's naturally resistant to mold and provides firm support that maintains its shape over time.
Needled Wool
Soft, resilient, and naturally temperature-regulating, needled wool creates a comfortable top layer. Its natural crimp provides both cushioning and support, adapting to your body's contours.
Traditional Craftsmanship
Our upholstery process follows time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Each piece begins with a foundation of hand-tied springs, creating a flexible base that responds naturally to weight and movement.
Every stitch tells a story
The padding layers are carefully built up, with each material chosen for its specific properties. Horsehair provides the spring, coconut coir adds structure, and wool offers the final comfort layer.
A Sustainable Choice
Choosing natural materials isn't just about comfort and durability—it's also an environmentally conscious decision. These renewable resources biodegrade naturally at the end of their long lifespan, unlike synthetic foams that persist in landfills for centuries.
By supporting traditional upholstery techniques, you're investing in furniture that can be repaired, restored, and passed down through generations, reducing waste and preserving craftsmanship.
