Reupholstery of a 1930s Art Deco Sofa

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



When a Madison, Wisconsin business wanted a signature sofa for their lobby, they found one at Home & Office Upholstery, also in Madison. Home & Office has stockpiled vintage furniture for 30 years; this sofa was made in 1909 by the S. Karpen Brothers of Chicago. Originally in mohair, we reupholstered it in plum velvet and documented the process.

  1. BRAVO !!!
  2. Wow! What a craftsman. I do hope the upholstery shop I'm using will be that great.
  3. WONDERFUL UPHOLSTERY JOB, BUY AN OLD PEICE AND GET A CRAFTSMAN LIKE THIS MAN TO GIVE IT A SECOUND LIFE.
  4. Great video! I've seen the finished product and it's 5 star quality.
