Buttons sewn through fabric, cushion, and frame to create a deep, geometric pattern of indentations. The Chesterfield silhouette is the most famous example.
In Practice
At Extra Touch Upholstery, button tufting is part of the standard vocabulary of every commission — discussed openly with clients during the specification phase and documented in the written scope before any work begins. Whether you are restoring a family heirloom, commissioning a new custom piece, or refreshing a Lake Tahoe estate, this is the level of detail you should expect from a serious atelier.
