A bespoke sofa is not a product pulled from a catalogue. It is developed in a sequence, each step resolving the next, until the piece belongs to one room and one brief. This is how Saint Objets works, designed in Paris and crafted to order in the Emirates.
Brief and room proportions
Everything begins with the brief and the room. How is the space used, who sits in it, what does it face, how does light move through it. We take the real dimensions, the circulation and the relationship to the other pieces before a single line is drawn.
Silhouette and comfort
The silhouette is drawn to the proportions of the room. Then comfort is engineered into it: seat depth, back height, the angle of the recline and the layering of the fill, so the line and the comfort are the same decision rather than two.
The piece is built three times before it is yours: in drawing, in frame, in cloth.
Material direction
Upholstery is selected from curated European collections, including French and Belgian mills, for texture, colour depth, comfort and suitability for the project. For high-use settings, upholstery with documented performance characteristics can be specified according to the brief. Material direction is developed alongside silhouette and proportion, so the cloth carries the same intention as the form.
Technical development and fabrication
A kiln-dried hardwood frame is built and sprung, the comfort is layered and tested, and the cloth is cut and applied by hand. Each piece is checked against the drawing and the brief before it leaves the atelier.
Delivery and installation
Where included in the project scope, delivery, placement and installation are coordinated by the studio, so the sofa arrives as one considered result rather than a flat-packed object.
