A stitch in time

These exciting finishes are actually classed as laminates. They're from the Sibu range which Halifax is distributing. I'm really excited about the stitched leather. There are a heap of stitching patterns and colours. It opens up a whole new world for shopfitouts. Previously we would need to send that part of the job off to the upholsterer with very specific instructions about the thread, stitch sizes etc, whereas now these can be applied in the factory along with the other laminated surfaces. The fabric type finishes including the furs, all come on a flexible backing, which also allow them to be bent around corners. One of the downfalls with traditional laminate is the black line you get along the edges. I'm looking forward to using these in upcoming jobs.
