Traditional and modern upholstery

From traditional to modern, Charles of Lloyd provide a broad range of upholstery services.

Hand preparing traditional upholstery stitching

Traditional Upholstery

Traditional upholstery relies on handcrafted techniques, such as hand-tied springs, and intricate stitching through hessian pads, typically stuffed with natural materials like loose horsehair, coir fibre, cotton or wool felts.

Modern Upholstery

Furniture making post-1950 is defined by the use of foam as an integral filling. Designers embraced its versatility to craft a range of innovative shapes, giving rise to iconic pieces that summarise the aesthetics of modern and mid-century design.
