The Work

Sixteen passes of the hand,
before a single pillow leaves the studio.

Every ZUMBO begins on the cutting table. Patterns marked, velvet held against the grain, edges sewn closed by a single maker. We do not contract production.
Velvet being cut by hand on the studio table
Each panel is cut against the nap, by hand. Velvet remembers everything.
Pattern marking on velvet
Patterns are chalked, then redrawn for every dye-lot. We trust no two bolts are alike.
Hand-finishing a pillow seam
Closed by a single maker. The maker's mark is sewn into every seam.

The Line

Six shapes.

Named like a fashion house, drawn like furniture. Each shape was developed for a particular sofa form — though they will live on any of them.
