The Fornirama commitment to quality begins with raw materials. Frames are constructed of (prime quality) hardwood, eliminating warping and splitting in the final product. Frame components are cut, shaped and assembled by hand. All joints are hand-fitted and solidly glued & screwed together.
Most manufacturers attach frames with wire staples, at Fornirama, frames are securely screwed together, to provide a lifetime of durable comfort.
Fornirama uses only the finest quality 2.6 density foam, compared with 2.0 or 2.2 foam commonly found in production furniture, ensuring deep-seating comfort for many years to come. Foam is cut and attached by hand, adding to the well-tailored look of the final product.
Seating platforms are constructed of highly resilient webbing and solidly affixed springs. The technicians realize that a sound job here will eliminate service problems in the future, and that a reputation for reliability affords job security for everyone.
While frames are assembled, the upholstery shop is busy measuring and cutting. The upholstery shop employs a highly skilled and experienced team that enjoys the latest technologies available. In manufacturing, no expense is spared, from waxed thread, that won’t unravel while being inversely unwound from the bobbin, to long-lasting full grain leathers. Fornirama uses only the highest quality components.
On the main assembly floor, frame and fabric are united. Like tailors, expert upholsterer’s hand-fit the specified covering to each individual frame. This is a task made easy due to the caring, precision work of the frame assembly and sewing departments.
Many of the upholsterers at Fornirama have been with the company since the early days, and share in the family-like commitment to quality at every level of production.
