Appica

Every piece starts as a line.

Drawn in the studio, built next door, carried in by our own crew. One team takes each piece from the first line to your living room, so someone here always knows how yours was made.

4 stages between the drawing and your room

Nothing is bought in finished. Each piece passes through our own hands at every stage, which is how we know what we are promising.

  1. A designer’s desk with a 3D model of a lounge chair on the monitor, wood samples and fabric swatches beside the keyboard

    Drawn

    Every piece starts as a sketch and becomes a 3D model we can turn, measure, and sit in on screen. A wrong line is cheap to fix there, so we draw until the proportions stop arguing.

  2. A CNC router cutting the curved armrest of a chair from a solid oak blank in a bright workshop

    Built

    Frames are cut on a CNC router in our workshop in Riverton, from solid oak, walnut, or ash, so every joint fits to a tenth of a millimeter. Then the machine stops and hands take over: glued, pegged, and sanded on the bench.

  3. Hands fitting a moss green wool cover onto a sofa frame on a workbench, rolls of fabric behind
    03

    Covered

    Covers are cut on a digital table and sewn in-house, then stretched by hand over high-density foam. Every one zips off, so it can be cleaned or replaced without the piece leaving the room.

  4. 2 delivery crew members carrying a sofa into a bright living room

    Delivered

    Our own crew brings it to your door, or into the room of your choice and up 2 flights of stairs. They take the packaging away and leave the room as they found it.

Built from 6 things we would put in our own homes

Solid wood where it takes the weight, natural fiber where you touch it. All of it chosen to age rather than wear out.
