Buyer questions
- A common question
Can the piping be a different fabric from the cushion, say a soft fabric body with linen trim?
The workshop's answerYes. You can mix fabric types and colors, for example an ice-blue soft-fabric body (#126) with tan linen piping (L-20). Write both choices in the note to seller, such as 'Cushion: Soft Fabric #126 / Piping: L-20'.

- A common question
Do you make seat and back cushions for a Barcelona-style chair?
The workshop's answerYes, on request. Because of the chair's intricate design and the detailed work involved, it is a pricier model and is not listed. Send reference photos, your fabric choice and exact dimensions, and the workshop quotes the seat and backrest cushions.

- A common question
Do you carry performance fabrics that wash easily?
The workshop's answerYes. All the workshop's fabrics are machine-washable performance fabrics, and they are pre-shrunk, which suits busy, high-use spots.
