Re-covering
Sofas, armchairs, chairs, benches and chaises longues. In a fabric chosen from our sample books, or one you bring yourself.
i Vigna / Upholstery & curtains
Bespoke upholstery and curtains.
Behind the showroom is the part of the craft you do not see in the window: the upholsterer's bench and the curtain workroom. We follow every job from measuring to installation, with fabrics from our sample books.
Upholstery: what we do
Bespoke beds and bases
Upholstered beds with storage bases and headboards, covered in the fabric of the room.
Headboards and bed surrounds
Buttoned, plain, wrap-around, with contrast edges. Built to your room's measurements, not a catalogue's.
Poufs, benches and seating
Upholstered pieces made to drawing, with piping, plinths and finishes chosen together.
Outdoor upholstery
Seating and modular cushions for terraces and gardens, in durable outdoor fabrics.
Fabric wall panelling
Tensioned fabric walls for private residences, historic buildings, museums and public spaces.
Upholstery restoration
Fully dismantled, frame consolidated, new calibrated fillings, tailored cover. The original shape and proportions stay.
How we work
Study and advice
Proportions, comfort and looks, starting from how you will use the piece.
Drawing and prototype
A drawing with measurements, fabrics and finishes, and a prototype where needed.
Frame
A handmade frame and fillings calibrated to the model.
Making up and covering
The fabric is cut on the piece, with pattern repeats aligned.
Delivery and installation
We deliver and install, and we are there for you in the years that follow.
From drawing to finished piece
Every job starts with a drawing of measurements, fabrics and finishes, which you approve before a metre of fabric is cut.
Indoor curtains
Light, privacy and comfort, with light or structured fabrics, sheer, blackout or flame-retardant, in cotton, linen, silk and wool. We measure at your home, make up in our workroom and install.
Roman blinds
The fabric gathers at the bottom in neat folds. Flat or draped, from homes to boats.
Panel curtains
Wide panels sliding on tracks and overlapping: for glazing, French windows and open spaces.
Roller blinds
Minimal footprint, with or without a cassette, fitted to ceiling, wall or frame.
Skylight blinds
Shading for rooflights, domes and sloping glazing, on guide rails.
Gathered curtains
The most common and most versatile style, adaptable to any window.
The right system for every space
Tracks and mechanisms chosen with the curtain, not after it.
Hand-drawn tracks
Manual and silent, for homes, hotels and shops.
Metropole pole
With an internal glide channel: the curtain can sit anywhere along the pole.
Room dividers
To separate spaces lightly and flexibly.
Cord-operated systems
Bendable and strong, they follow the shape of any design.
Motorised systems
For large or hard-to-reach windows, smart-home ready.
Wave
The classic curtain with a regular, continuous wave.
Systems and mechanisms
Outdoor awnings
Awnings and pergolas configured to exposure, architecture and wind, with technical fabrics and manual or motorised operation, including weather sensors. We also service them: new covers, motors and cords.
Folding-arm awnings
For terraces and balconies: the canopy opens forward, with no posts.
Horizontal and drop awnings
To cover large areas, or to shade windows and porticoes vertically.
Pergolas
Freestanding or wall-mounted, with retractable or louvred roofs that withstand the wind.
Shade sails
Striking shade for gardens, pools and venues.
