Our Craft
Every piece begins with a vision — and is brought to life through time-honored upholstery techniques. At Heirloom & Hide, craft is not just a method — it’s a philosophy. From the frame to the final stitch, every choice is made with intention, ensuring your furniture is built to endure and designed to inspire.
The Hand of the Artisan
Our craftsmen bring decades of expertise to every stage of the process. Whether shaping frames, cutting fabrics, or perfecting upholstery details, nothing is rushed, nothing is compromised. The work is as meticulous as it is creative — blending precision joinery with an artist’s eye for proportion and detail.
Designed by You, Perfected by Us
At Heirloom & Hide, customization is not limited to a set of predefined options — it’s a philosophy of collaboration. Each client has the freedom to shape the size, silhouette, comfort level, and aesthetic of their piece. Every element — from the internal frame to the visible grain of the wood — can be tailored to match your vision.
Our website showcases a curated selection of fabrics, leathers, and finishes, but these are only a starting point. We can source textiles, hides, and specialty materials from around the world to match your style and home. Whether you want a Belgian performance weave, an Italian hide, or a hand-loomed textile, your choices shape the final piece.
Our process allows for complete personalization across:
Dimensions & Proportions:
Every measurement adjusted to fit your home perfectly.
Comfort:
Select cushion fills, spring systems, and seat depth for your ideal feel.
Coverings:
Choose from our curated library or commission any material you desire.
Finishes:
select or custom-match wood stains, paints, and sheens for a unified look.
Your design consultant will guide you through each decision, ensuring beauty and longevity work in harmony.
Strength at the Core
Great design starts with structure. Our frames are crafted from Baltic birch plywood, prized for its strength, dimensional stability, and precision. Layered construction prevents warping and ensures every frame holds true for decades of use. For clients seeking the heirloom benchmark, solid kiln-dried hardwood is available by request — a material demanding both skill and respect, reserved for those who appreciate craftsmanship at its purest form.
Built for Comfort, Engineered for Longevity
Not all frames are built alike — and we honor that distinction. Deep silhouettes may feature 8-way hand-tied springs, the benchmark of comfort and resilience. Compact frames, meanwhile, utilize sinuous springs for balanced support and refined structure. Each spring system is selected to match the design, never applied as a one-size-fits-all.
Your Vision, Our Craft
Every heirloom begins with a conversation. Share your ideas, inspirations, and lifestyle — and together, we’ll design a piece that reflects your home and your story.
