storied iii: uphold
Editor’s Note: In 2024, we sent a team of writers and photographers to the foothills of North Carolina to visit our longtime upholstery artisans. While there, our creative team learned about the process of furniture building—the cutting and sewing, the tufting and hand-tying, the frame building. But more importantly, they learned about the people behind these practices.
And, for the third volume of our Storied series, we came home.
Found Here
Our path. Our place.
A breathtaking measure of square feet.
A humming makerspace built to exacting standards.
Soaring ceilings. Windows bright with natural light.
Casting filtered rays over the future of local making.
From one man’s vision, a home built for forward.
With the structure and sustenance
only a family could provide.
Framed Here
On strong arms and backs, bolts of fabric. Lays of leather.
The finest materials sourced from around the world.
Brought together in North Carolina. The embodiment
of loft and luxury. Quality sought and sensed.
Every tuck, stitch and seam, seamless.
Felt Here
Shared quiet and comfort. Then efficiency.
Authenticity. Stability. Within these home-grown walls,
a distinctive sense of pride, of place.
Filling and furnishing much more than rooms.
