The Leighjer Way.

Writer's picture: LeighjerLeighjer

It's come up, time and time again. How do we do what we do?


There are a few steps that go into making the furniture we make. I guess the first and most important stage is, Design. We can't go anywhere without knowing the destination first. This type is clarity is always needed before we start a project, you'll see why as we go on. Dimensions, foam density, fabric choice, structure, placement, time-frame are a few of the big decisions that have to be considered before we get cracking. The goal is to make it seamless and minimize the number of setbacks we have to navigate around.

The first step in production is, of course, the woodwork. Getting the structure and shape right, the skeleton. I think it's a bit self-explanatory as to why the structure needs to be done first but we do a few things that give us a cutting edge. Our first ace up our sleeve is the use of industrial pine. This type of wood is treated to last longer. It comes with the great benefit of being cost-effective, light, and pliable but doesn't hurt you in the long run by deteriorating quickly.



Often, we need to do some spraying to the legs, to get them to the right finish.



Then we get foamed up. Comfort is placed on the hard structure. The nature of custom-made furniture is all about being adaptable to meet the needs of our customers in a good time frame, so this means our foam needs to be cut, joined, and worked into some very challenging spaces from time to time. While this is taking place, our cutters and seamsters are getting the fabric ready to be upholstered with a finishing touch.



We hope this short explainer, gave valuable insight into what we do and how we do it, all for you to get your next project done with excellence.
