Upholstery & Furniture
Furniture and antiques stripped to the frame and rebuilt, restaurant and commercial seating built to spec, and the interiors that live outside: boats and vehicles. All by hand.
Furniture & antiques
Rebuilt, not just re-covered
Couches, chairs, and antiques come in worn through: sprung webbing, flattened foam, a cover split at the seams. Ricardo strips each piece to the frame, rebuilds what's underneath, and cuts and sews a new cover by hand.
A Louis XV armchair in patterned silk, a corner chair back in fresh green velvet. The work is the same whether the piece is a family antique or an everyday couch.

Restaurant & commercial
Seating built for daily service
Booths, banquettes, built-ins, stools, and chairs for restaurants, bars, hotels, and theaters: framed new from bare wood or rebuilt from the frame to take years of turnover.
Restaurant upholstery detailsBoats and vehicles
The same craft, built for where it lives: sun, spray, and the road.
Automotive
Seats, door panels, and interiors for cars and motorcycles, patterned panel by panel and fitted tight.
Automotive upholstery detailsMaterials, in plain terms
Commercial vinyl is rated by "double rubs", the industry's wear test, so it wipes clean and doesn't crack in year two. Foam is high-density, cut to hold its shape through daily use. Anything that lives outside a climate-controlled room, like a boat seat or a convertible, gets marine-grade foam and thread spun not to rot in UV.
