Manufacture of BABA furniture
The BABA Armchair-Pouf-Sofa furniture is made by hand , in our workshop, thanks to an artisanal upholsterer's know-how . Each model is the fruit of a meticulous and passionate work of several hours , of which here are the stages of manufacture...
Step I: Formatting
Assembly and gluing of the seat structure in High Resilience foam using an aqueous solvent-free glue. Pink, it becomes transparent after a few hours of drying. Completion time: approximately 15 minutes .
Step II: Dressing
Sewing of the fixed cotton fleece cover and positioning on the foam structure. Completion time: approximately 40 minutes .
Step III: Pointing
Positioning and pointing of the self-gripping fabric, covering the base of each seat, using upholsterers (large pins with round heads). Completion time: approximately 15 minutes .
Step IV: Sewing the fixed cover
Invisible finishing seam by hand, at the so-called "folding" point using an upholstery square (curved needle) and very resistant linen thread, called "au Chinois". Completion time: 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the model.
Step V: Removable cover
Sewing of the removable cover in washed linen. Completion time: approximately 30 minutes … and 5 minutes for the final dressing!
This BABA will therefore have spent almost 3 hours in our little hands before arriving at your home and making your children happy!
