In a world where fast and easy often wins the day, we’ve chosen a different path: one rooted in craft, intention, and care. At Nathan Anthony, every upholstered piece is made-to-order, not mass produced. Here’s why that matters.
First, made-to-order allows us to tailor each piece specifically to the client’s needs. From cushion fill and seat height to stitching details and finish selections, every aspect of a piece is chosen before we begin manufacturing. This process ensures that what we create matches the designer’s vision exactly.
Second, custom orders give our upholstery artisans the time and space to focus on the details. Every seam is pressed and straightened by hand. Patterns are aligned and matched with intention. Threads are clipped, materials are steamed, and tools are used to finesse the final result. When you mass-produce, speed becomes the priority. At Nathan Anthony, our aim is achieving excellence in quality construction.
Finally, made-to-order reduces waste. We don’t create inventory that may or may not sell. We don’t stockpile materials for unused frames. Instead, we manufacture precisely what’s needed, when it’s needed, reducing waste across the board. Lean manufacturing reflects our larger commitment to sustainability in the home furnishings industry, and you can learn more about our process here.
