Professional furniture should be designed around real use
A seat in a shop, reception area or professional venue is used differently from a domestic armchair. Material choice needs to account for traffic, cleaning, rubbing and the image the space wants to project.
Start with the areas that receive the most wear
Seats, front edges, armrests and backs do not all face the same constraints. Looking at the furniture and the team's habits helps identify where resistance, flexibility or easy care should take priority.
Compare leather, faux leather, vinyl and textile
- leather brings a natural material that can develop a patina and be restored;
- faux leather or vinyl can provide consistent appearance and simple cleaning;
- textile can be relevant when hand, pattern or breathability are priorities;
- backing, grain and finish matter as much as the displayed colour.
Create a coherent finish across the space
Upholstery can echo a colour, piping or stitching detail already present in the interior. Across several pieces, approving a sample helps check colour and sheen before the project continues.
Prepare the pieces and the logistics
Photos, dimensions, quantities and access constraints help the workshop assess the project. Depending on the pieces, they can be dropped off at the workshop or sent by carrier.
