Commissioned Work - Private Studio
Every engagement is scoped as a restoration or bespoke build - never a quick cover. Structural integrity, material specification, and finish discipline are non-negotiable.
We partner with collectors, interior designers, architects, hospitality brands, and automotive specialists who require museum-level documentation, commercial-grade materials, and artisans who think in three dimensions.
Each service line below includes the same core promise: hand finishing, traceable material provenance, and inspection under studio-calibrated lighting before anything leaves our floor.
What we do not offer: slipcover-only shortcuts, foam-only "fluff and fold" jobs without assessment, or anonymous offshore fabrication. Quality is defined at intake - not patched at delivery.
Antique through post-war collectible seating: full strip, frame correction, spring and webbing systems, multi-density comfort cores, and historically faithful or contemporary material upgrades. We preserve silhouette and joinery while elevating tactility for daily use.
View methodologyBespoke residential and contract pieces built around your architecture. Pattern development, contrast welts, hand-tufting, channeling, and leather tailoring with automotive-grade seam alignment. Designed to read as collectible, not catalog.
Explore materialsClassic and contemporary cabins: Nappa and full-grain hides, Alcantara headliners, perforation and contrast stitch programs, foam reshaping for ergonomics, and period-correct grain direction. Finished like a factory special - without factory compromise.
See automotive workHospitality, private clubs, and high-traffic residences with contract-rated textiles, CAL TB 117-compliant assemblies where required, and maintenance plans. Installations are sequenced to minimize downtime and photographed for asset records.
Discuss your programPrivate sessions in our Tampa material library: handle full-grain and aniline leathers, performance velvets, architectural linens, and exotic microfibres. We map each option to light exposure, pets, humidity, and how the piece will be lived in - not just how it photographs.
Book material session1. Intake conversation. We review imagery, provenance, usage, and timeline. No blind estimates - context drives engineering.
2. Studio examination. Pieces are evaluated on the bench under raking light. You receive a written scope: frame, suspension, comfort layers, and finish.
3. Material sign-off. Swatches are approved in your space when needed; large hides are inspected for grain continuity before cutting.
4. Bench production. Single-team accountability - the same master craftsperson often shepherds a piece from pattern through final detail.
5. Delivery & care. Conditioning instructions, photographic record, and optional revisit for seasonal leather care in the first year.
