Embroidery Collection Upholstery Seating

Embroidery Collection Upholstery Seating is an innovative furniture design that reimagines traditional upholstery craftsmanship through the integration of smocking techniques from the fashion industry. This distinguished seating collection, designed by Yongphan Sundara-Vicharana, represents a significant departure from conventional sofa manufacturing methods by replacing traditional hub-pulling techniques with intricate fabric manipulation inspired by textile artistry. The collection encompasses both single and double seating configurations, with the one-seater measuring 840x780x950mm and the two-seater extending to 1420x780x950mm, both maintaining a comfortable seat height of 430mm. The design's distinctive characteristic lies in its sophisticated fusion of leather and fabric materials, employing meticulous handcrafting methods to create bas-relief patterns that elevate the aesthetic appeal while maintaining functional comfort. This innovative approach to furniture design, developed between May and December 2020 in Thailand, demonstrates exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship, earning recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. The collection's significance extends beyond its aesthetic appeal, representing a breakthrough in combining traditional upholstery techniques with contemporary textile artistry, thereby establishing new possibilities in furniture craftsmanship and design innovation.
