Where every piece
is hand-built.
Step inside the Nader workshop. Over a hundred craftsmen, modern machinery, fifteen years of practice, and a quiet insistence that every sofa, every bed, every chair earns its way out of the door.
It starts with wood.
Every Nader piece begins as a frame. We work with several wood types depending on the design and the brief. Lengths are cut to precise dimensions with handheld electric saws, planed flat, and assembled into the frame that will carry the piece for the next half century.
Load-bearing junctions use mortise-and-tenon joinery, reinforced with screws and high-grade adhesive. Frames cure overnight before they progress to the next station. No staples, no shortcuts, no rushing.
Where metal meets craft.
For pieces that call for it (dining table bases, console legs, sideboard frames, brass accents), the metal is fabricated in our own metal shop. Steel and brass are cut, bent, welded, and ground by hand, then sent to the finishing bay for plating or powder coat.
Brushed brass, antique bronze, blackened steel, matte black. Finishes are matched to the brief and lacquered to protect them. Welds are dressed back so seams disappear, and every base is squared to the tabletop it will carry.
Foam, fabric, and a careful hand.
High-density foam is cut to your exact frame dimensions, then your chosen fabric is laid out, marked, and cut to panel. Industrial sewing machines stitch the panels into upholstery covers with double-stitched seams and reinforced corners where stress lands.
The machinery is modern; the eye for thread tension, panel alignment, and matched pattern is still human. Every fabric type (bouclé, velvet, leather, polycotton) runs differently and needs a craftsman who knows the difference.
Stained, finished, signed off.
Exposed wood (legs, dining table tops, sideboards, headboards) is hand stained and finished in a dedicated painting bay. Stain colour is matched to the brief, applied in coats with sanding between each, and sealed with a hand buffed finish that brings out the grain without making it look plastic.
Once finished, every piece sits on the inspection stand for a final pass. Every seam is run a second time. Cushions are checked for symmetry. The frame is sat on, leaned on, and rocked under load. Anything less than perfect goes back to its bench.
Modern enough to deliver in 7–14 days. Considered enough that you can still feel the difference twenty years from now.
