UPHOLSTERY & ECO-CHIC LIVING:
Elevating Furniture with Artisanal Craftsmanship
Your furniture tells a story, and we're here to help it continue that narrative. At ATELAROSA we believe in the timeless beauty of heirloom furniture and the transformative power of reupholstery. In a world of fast-paced trends and mass produced items, our commitment to sustainability is at the heart of what we do. By choosing reupholstery, you not only preserve the beauty of your cherished furniture for future generations, but also contribute to a sustainable lifestyle.
WHY REUPHOLSTERY MATTERS:
Transforming Furniture for a Sustainable Tomorrow
In a world dominated by mass-produced, disposable items, traditional reupholstery stands as a testament to a centuries-old trade and quality craftsmanship. Choosing to revive your furniture not only supports sustainable practices but also ensures that you invest in lasting, high-quality pieces.
Sustainable Practices: Modern furniture production often comes at a high environmental cost. Through traditional reupholstery, we champion sustainable practices by minimising the need for new raw materials, making us the eco-conscious choice for discerning consumers.
Landfill Impact: The annual EU28 furniture waste equates to a staggering 10.78 million tonnes, with over 80% of the EU furniture waste incinerated or sent to landfills and less than 10% being recycled (data source European Federation of Furniture Manufacturers).
Reupholstery significantly reduces your carbon footprint and helps combat the environmental challenges posed by excessive waste.
Supporting Small Businesses: When you choose reupholstery, you're not just giving your furniture a new lease of life - you're also preserving traditional craftsmanship, supporting small local businesses, nurturing the talents of local artisans and fostering a sense of community and connection.
Artisanal Craftsmanship: At Atelarosa, we cherish the legacy of timeless craftsmanship, employing techniques that have been used by traditional upholsterers for centuries, and skills meticulously passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each piece of furniture undergoes a meticulous process, with a commitment to preserve the authenticity and character of each piece, ensuring that your furniture isn't just restored - it's transformed into a work of art.
