How we build them
Frame, suspension, seat — in that order.
Every Firestaq sofa starts with a kiln-dried hardwood frame, mortise and tenon jointed and screwed and glued in compression. Suspension is eight-way hand-tied coils for the seat, sinuous webbing for the back. Seat foam is dual-density: a firm core surrounded by a softer wrap, then a feather-and-down top layer for the cushion that flattens into use over years rather than weeks.
Upholstery happens in-house. We work with a small group of European mills for linen, velvet and boucle, and keep their swatch books on the studio shelf for you to thumb through. Buttons, piping, contrast welt and cushion shape are all yours to specify.
