Approach & Execution

Every commission at Extra Touch begins the same way — a careful site visit, a written scope, and a fabric consultation that takes as long as it needs to. For this project, that process produced a clear specification before a single piece left the home. Pieces were transported to our Reno atelier under blankets, strip-rebuild work was photographed at each stage for the client's records, and the finished pieces were re-delivered and installed by our crew.

Where the original construction was sound, we preserved it. Where it required intervention, we used materials and methods consistent with the original era and quality grade — eight-way hand-tied springs over jute webbing, Dacron-wrapped cushions, and welt cord cut on the bias for clean curves.

The Result

The finished pieces returned to service with the structural integrity and visual coherence the original maker intended — extended, in most cases, by another half-century of use. This is what "investment-grade upholstery" looks like in practice: pieces that outlive their owners' patience for trend cycles, and that pass cleanly to the next generation.
