Embroidery Collection: Upholstery Seating

A New Perspective on Craftsmanship in Sofa Upholstery

The embroidery collection by Yongphan Sundara-Vicharana presents a unique approach to showcasing the craftsmanship of sofa upholstery. Inspired by the traditional technique of pulling the hub to create intricate details, the designer decided to explore alternative methods by incorporating smocking crafts from the fashion industry. The result is a collection of upholstered seating that features delicate bas-relief patterns, showcasing the designer's talent and innovation.

The embroidery collection stands out from other furniture designs with its emphasis on craftsmanship and attention to detail. By incorporating smocking crafts, the designer has reimagined the traditional upholstery technique, creating a new pattern and texture that adds a touch of artistry to each piece. The combination of fabric and leather materials further enhances the visual appeal and durability of the collection.

The process of creating the embroidery collection involves meticulous handcrafting techniques, with skilled artisans delicately picking up pleats and sewing them to create bas-reliefs in various patterns. The result is a collection of one and two-seater sofas, as well as coffee and side tables, that exude elegance and sophistication.

The technical specifications of the collection include a one-seater sofa with dimensions of 840/780/950mm and a seat height of 430mm, a two-seater sofa with dimensions of 1420/780/950mm and a seat height of 430mm, a coffee table measuring 700/700/400mm, and a side table measuring 450/450/460mm.

The embroidery collection made its debut at the Bangkok Design Week 2021 after months of research and development. The challenge for the designer was to find a new perspective on craftsmanship in upholstery furniture, and the incorporation of smocking detail from the fashion industry provided the perfect solution. The collection received the Iron A' Design Award in 2022, recognizing its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature.

The embroidery collection is a testament to the designer's ability to push the boundaries of traditional upholstery techniques and create a unique and visually stunning collection. With its blend of craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail, this collection is sure to captivate art and design enthusiasts alike.
