is a craftsman who specializes in designing, building, and upholstering sofas. The process of making a sofa involves various stages, each requiring specific skills. Here's an overview of the process and the roles involved:
Key Stages in Sofa Making:
Design and Planning
:
The sofa maker collaborates with designers (or may design themselves) to create the blueprint or model of the sofa, considering dimensions, style, and materials.
Custom sofas may be made to fit specific spaces or meet individual client needs.
Frame Construction
:
A solid wood or metal frame is built to form the skeleton of the sofa. This part is crucial for the durability and stability of the piece.
An upholstery carpenter often builds these frames, ensuring they are strong enough to support the cushions and fabric.
Springs and Webbing
:
Springs or webbing are added to the frame to create support and comfort. This step affects how firm or soft the sofa will feel.
Tension is important for maintaining durability and shape over time.
Cushioning
:
Foam, down, or other materials are cut and shaped to fit the sofa's contours. Cushioning provides both comfort and structure.
The thickness and density of the foam or padding can vary depending on the design and comfort preferences.
Upholstery
:
Fabric, leather, or other materials are measured, cut, and sewn to cover the sofa. This step requires precise attention to detail to ensure a snug, seamless fit.
Upholsterers often work closely with sofa makers to complete this step, ensuring the fabric is stretched and attached properly.
Finishing Touches
:
Legs, armrests, buttons, or tufting are added as finishing details. These elements can give the sofa its unique character and style.
Additional decorative features like piping, trims, or nailhead trims can be included based on the design.
