Piping & Contrast Piping

Piping is one of the most popular upholstery detailing features, offering a clean outline that defines the shape of furniture. Contrast piping can also be specified to create a bold design statement or subtle luxury edge.

Piping is commonly used for sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, headboards, and ottomans. This detail is particularly effective on velvet and leather upholstery.

Fluted upholstery is ideal for banquette seating, booth seating, lounge chairs, headboards, and bar seating. This finish adds structure and sophistication to seating areas.
