Choosing a chair with a carriage tie

Lovers of a traditional approach to design often choose a chair with a coach tie. But, like any design item, this item should be chosen very carefully and thoughtfully. It is necessary to pay attention to both appearance and technical features.

The coach armchair is a separate design technique. It is characterized by a special pattern that gives the furniture upholstery more volume.

An alternative name for such a technique - "capitonne" - was given in its homeland, in France. The English branch of the coach tie is called Chesterfield; both directions are a sure sign of good aesthetic taste.

Capitone is appreciated for:

• long service;
• unforgettable appearance;
• flexibility in stylistic terms;
• the ability to change geometry;
• visual increase in space.

If retro style is chosen, the following colors are preferred:

• golden;
• beige;
• Brown;
• woody.

Most often, armchairs with a carriage tie are made to order. Then it is very important to control the work of the masters from the first to the last step.Be sure to get acquainted with the sketches. It must be remembered that any distortion of the fabric is unacceptable. Real professionals drive both nails and buttons to the same depth.

You cannot use a very thin fabric, only a durable fabric will cope with its task. Important: the minimum price for a professional's work is 3000 rubles per 1 sq. m. Anything that is cheaper is a scam or an obvious marriage. This amount does not include the materials themselves, the urgency of the work, the volume of the order and design delights.
