Upholsterer in seating, decor, and Villier
In the seating workshops, upholsterers create all types of contemporary or traditional custom furniture, including the restoration of antique pieces. For special pieces, a close collaboration is initiated with the creator to bring the workshop’s expertise. Advice on ergonomics, comfort, and technical solutions ensures that each piece comes to life as closely as possible to the creator’s intentions, from the wooden structure to the covering and installation. For furniture restoration, the company employs traditional upholstery techniques to preserve and respect the eras of each seat.
On the decor side, the quilt makers handle technicality, patience, and skill to create traditional or contemporary window coverings. Haute couture curtains, meticulously designed, harmonize with clients’ lifestyles and adapt to the most delicate and demanding fabrics on any support.

The Tapissier Seigneur teams also handle all Villiers works in the broad sense, including wall coverings or murals and custom window decor, taking into account architectural and client usage constraints.
