Custom-Made Classic Sofas: Silk Velvets, Solid Wood and Italian Craftsmanship
Natural fillings, hand-applied decorative trims and complete customization, crafted in Seveso (MB), Italy
Santambrogio handcrafts classic sofas in its own workshop in Seveso, in the province of Monza and Brianza, just a few minutes from Milan. The company has been doing so for over 60 years. Every model is 100% made to measure: dimensions, fillings, fabrics and finishes are tailored to the available space and the individual project.
Every component is carefully selected, from the frame to the finest decorative threads:
- Frame: Solid wood crafted by the company's upholsterers, with steel springs supporting the seat.
- Natural fillings: Horsehair or vegetable fibre, providing a seat that retains its shape and comfort over time.
- Upholstery: Silk velvets, leather and a wide selection of fabrics.
- Decorative trims and fringes: Applied by hand, including genuine gold thread, characteristic of classic style.
- Feet: Wooden feet, carved, lacquered or finished to complement the sofa's style. Also available with castors or in a taller version to make cleaning underneath the sofa easier.
FROM SELECTION TO DELIVERY
The process begins with choosing the model and dimensions. The solid wood frame is then built, followed by the natural filling and finally the upholstery and finishing details. Customers can follow the manufacturing stages and check the details before delivery. At the Seveso showroom, they can feel the velvets and leathers, try the seating comfort and develop their project with an interior design consultant.
