The Cutting Room
Where pattern paper meets foam and fabric. A 4-metre table, three pattern walls, German-precision shears. Cushions get their bones here.
THE ATELIER
Where every FOAMERA begins.
Down a quiet street in our city, behind a discreet door, sits the room where every cushion you'll order is cut, stitched and finished. This is what's inside.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
It smells of cut linen and warm thread.
Walk in and the first thing you notice isn't a machine — it's the light. Tall windows, north-facing, the kind upholsterers have always insisted on because they show fabric weave honestly without colour cast. Then you hear the hum: industrial Juki overlock at the back wall, electric foam blade at the cutting table, the quieter rhythm of hand-stitch in the finishing corner.
Three master cutters, two senior stitchers, one finisher. No assembly line. Each cushion stays with the same hands from frame measurement to wrapped envelope.
North-facing windows, six pairs of hands.
Six hands. One door. No assembly line.

A WORKING DAY
A day, hour by hour.
From the first cut at half-seven to the last quality check before the lights go off.
-
Step 1
07:30
Cutting
Master cutter takes the customer's measurements, lays the kraft pattern, marks the foam, then cuts on the long table with a heated wire. Pattern stays attached so the same hands recognize the project tomorrow.
-
Step 2
10:00
Sewing
Senior stitcher selects the fabric from rolls hand-pulled the night before. Industrial Juki overlock for seams. Walking-foot machine for piping. The rhythm is steady, never rushed — a couch cushion takes about ninety minutes here.
-
Step 3
14:00
Finishing
YKK hidden zip set, corners hand-pulled, double-stitch reinforced where it counts. The finisher signs each tag with the order date and a single initial — yours.
-
Step 4
16:30
Quality
Last test: dropped from waist height onto the inspection bench, twice. If the seam shifts a millimetre, it goes back. If it sits clean, it gets wrapped in unbleached cotton, boxed, and stacked for tomorrow's collection.
THE ROOMS
Three rooms. Three crafts.
A cushion travels through all three before it leaves us.
No. 02
The Sewing Room
Six industrial machines, one walking-foot for piping, one buttonhole for designer covers. The senior stitcher leads — fifteen years on these machines.
No. 03
The Finishing Room
Hand-stitch, zipper-set, hand-finishing, packing. The slowest room and the most careful. This is where a cushion stops being a sewn object and starts being yours.
MASTER CRAFTSPEOPLE
The hands that make it.
Six people, fifty-four years of craft between them. Every cushion passes through these hands.
Master Cutter
Mehmet22 years
I learned to cut foam from my father. Ten thousand cushions later, the table is the same.
Master Stitcher
Aysel18 years
A clean seam comes from a calm machine. Rush a Juki and it tells you, every time.
Master Finisher
Hakan14 years
Last hands on every cushion are mine. I sign the tag — that's my promise.
