From Timber to Chesterfield | Making a Genuine Leather Sofa by Hand

Ever wondered how a genuine leather Chesterfield sofa is actually made? In this video, we take you inside the workshop to follow the complete manufacturing process of a Winchester Chesterfield sofa — from the first pieces of timber to the finished genuine leather sofa. Watch as the timber is measured and cut, the frame is built, the distinctive Chesterfield shape begins to take form, and the upholstery process transforms the wooden structure into a finished piece of furniture. For this Winchester, the client selected Chestnut genuine African cow leather. We follow the leather cutting and upholstery process, the traditional deep buttoning, the rolled arms and the decorative stud detailing that completes the classic Chesterfield look. Finally, the completed sofa leaves the workshop and is delivered to one of our retail clients, ready for the next stage of its journey. The Interior Workshop takes you behind the scenes to see how beautiful furniture and interiors are actually made — from sofas and upholstery to curtains, blinds and more.
