Cut, place, staple! Give your stool a vibrant new life alongside Myriam!

The adventure begins with upholstering your removable cushion. The first challenge will be choosing the perfect fabric for your stool from a multitude of options. Think of it as finding the perfect outfit for your furniture.

Then, you’ll be divided into small groups for a friendly and interactive experience. You’ll discover the basic principles of the upholstery trade. You’ll be initiated into the well-kept secrets of cutting and placing foam, batting and fabric.

You’ll learn more about the specific tools used and the different materials available, while understanding the importance of proper handling of the pneumatic stapler.

And finally, the finishing touch: attaching the cushion to the wooden structure of the stool, designed in Brussels by Matthieu and Timothy from Regglo, who have transformed recycled wood into a sleek design.

At the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with your one-of-a-kind stool. Your friends will be impressed when you invite them to sit on your stool, knowing that you’ve literally left your mark on every staple.
