Jean-Daniel Maendly
Upholsterer-decorator
Genève

If you want expert upholsterer advice on the layout of your interior or the restoration of valuable seats, old or contemporary, then push the door of Confort-Décor! Jean-Daniel Maendly, upholsterer-decorator certified by a federal master’s degree – involved in associations, education and professional training – has just received the 2015 Prize for the training company, applied arts division.

While the current trend is towards the unbridled consumption of interior decor and furniture, the upholsterer-decorator - from ancestral traditions - will testify that he has known how to evolve to adapt to trends, materials and techniques of today. Jean-Daniel Maendly will demonstrate in his workshop that bespoke antique or contemporary furniture is attractive and exciting.

The horsehair, padding, folding and stitching stages, whitening before covering with style fabric will thus have lost some of their mystery.
