About Embroidery Collection Upholstery Seating
Embroidery Collection is a group of upholstered seating and tables for living spaces. The collection includes a one-seat sofa, a two-seat sofa, a coffee table and a side table. Smocking, a hand sewing technique taken from the fashion industry, gathers the fabric into pleats and forms patterned reliefs on the upholstery. The smocking detail replaces the hub-pulling method used in traditional sofa work. Fabric and leather are combined in each piece. The aim is to present upholstery craft in a new visual form.

By join in the work by choosing techniques from fabric work like smocking crafts.

- Inspiration
- We inspired from if we want to create craftsmanship on a sofa in a new perspective, how we can create so we choose techniques from fabric work like smocking crafts that require both techniques talent, and delicacy by using sewing techniques, gently pick up the pleats and sew. To create bas-reliefs into various patterns. we used this smocking technique instead of the original hub pulling technique which creates a pattern and details that are different from the original form of the sofa.
