- CHARACTERISTICS OF A LOUNGE SUITE
As with any hand made product, there are
many contributing factors to achieving the
high standard of craftsmanship every
Distinctive chesterfield is built to.
The starting point for any lounge is the
frame. This is constructed with the one of
the finest hardwoods, meranti, selected for
strength and longevity. The frame components
are hand formed, by skilled craftsmen, to
give us the ready components. These
components are then assembled by hand, using
dowels, screws, glue and corner blocks for
added strength. Also, all of our timber are
kiln dried for the purpose of reducing the
moisture content of the timber.
Depending on the style of lounge being
built, the first thing is to spring the
frame. This is a painstaking process of
applying individual coil springs or
serpentine springs to the frame, prior to
the seat foam and other foaming, so as to
ensure a long lasting shape to the piece of
furniture. Once this stage is completed, the
foam is made to pattern to suit the item and
is applied, panel by panel until the Chair
has a finished shape.
It is now time to upholster your lounge.
Firstly, we select from our leather stores,
fine grain hides in the required finish.
Templates are then applied to these and the
panels cut by the dedicated pattern maker
and passed to our sewer to sewn it into
shape and later passed it to the
upholsterer, to be applied to the foamed
lounge. Depending on the level of complexity
of the model you have selected, this process
can take up to 1 1/2 days to complete.
Once we received confirmation, takes at
least 3-4 weeks to complete the order.
