When I think of what makes a piece of furniture truly special, my mind always returns to one word: craft. At Nathan Anthony, craftsmanship is more than a process. It’s a point of pride, a philosophy, and the heartbeat of our business.
This month, I’m thrilled to shine a light on the talented people behind our upholstery department. Their work is where ideas become tangible, where a designer’s vision is shaped—literally—into something beautiful and built to last.
Step inside our Los Angeles studio and you’ll find a team of expert artisans with decades of experience. Every stitch and seam is done by hand. Whether it’s deep channeling on a Michel bed or the sculpted silhouette of a Freya arm, the attention to detail is unwavering. Our upholstery artisans work closely with our Custom Design Concierge™ team to bring each customization request to life, whether it’s modifying arm height, adjusting seat depth, specifying a unique stitch pattern, or incorporating a one-of-a-kind material.
Wilfredo, one of our senior upholsterers, has been with us for nearly 10 years. His attention to detail and meticulous work shows a level of consistency and craftsmanship that can only come from time and dedication. Watching him build up the profile of a piece from the inside out is like watching a sculptor at work: measured, focused, exact.
For interior designers, having access to a skilled, flexible upholstery team means the difference between selecting a piece off the shelf and tailoring it to truly fit the project. That’s the level of partnership we strive to offer, because when you’re designing a space, every detail matters.
To our incredible team—thank you. Your hands, your patience, and your artistry bring our vision to life every single day. And to our designer partners: if you’re dreaming up something special for a project this season, know that we’re here, ready to bring your customized vision to life with care.
