Booths, banquettes and lounge seating, drawn, built and sewn in our Clearwater atelier and set in place anywhere in the country.
Tailor Booth is a commercial upholstery house in Clearwater, Florida. Designers, hoteliers and restaurateurs bring us a plan, a sketch or a photograph of the room. We return shop drawings, and then the piece itself: the frame cut to the inch, the foam to the drawing, the cover cut and sewn in the atelier, delivered and set in place by the hands that made it.
Nothing is stocked. Every commission begins on paper and ends in the room.
Move across the room to see the sheet it was built from: the plinth, the frame, the foam and the cover, each dimension settled before a single cut.
Slide to see the drawing
Studies of the rooms we are asked for most. Every piece in them is made to order in the atelier.
A straight banquette on a recessed plinth, smooth-backed so the leather shows, with a welted seat edge and a back kept low to hold the sightline to the pass. Built in sections to the wall and joined where it turns.
A curved banquette built on the arc of the alcove. The channels are sewn and filled one at a time so they hold their line around the bend, and the velvet is cut with the nap running one way across the whole piece.
A wall-length banquette in deep-tufted oxblood leather, every tuft drawn through the foam and anchored to the frame. The brass rail along the top is drawn on the same sheet, at the height the room wants.
Lobby seating in a loop-pile boucle over high-density foam, fabricated as three sections to pass the elevator and joined on site without a visible seam. The brass-legged tables were drawn with it.
Every cover is cut and sewn in the same room as the frame it will dress. It is why the two fit.
Nothing is upholstered until the frame has been stood up and checked against the drawing. Then the cover is cut with the nap running one way and sewn to the piece rather than to a pattern. It is slow, and it is why it fits.
So each holds its line, even around a curve.
Deep tufting that keeps its fold.
On the walking-foot machine, to the frame it will dress rather than to a pattern.
Commercial vinyl, velvet, full-grain leather and boucle from the house library, or the bolt you send.
A booth is judged by what it is sitting on after ten thousand services. This is the order it goes together in, from the plinth to the room.
Powder-coated, with adjustable levelers
Kiln-dried, glued, screwed and corner-blocked
Cut to the drawing, layered for the seat and the back
Vinyl, velvet, leather or your own material
Channels, tufts, welts and stitching
Leveled on its plinth, checked against the drawing, materials to the fire standard the project requires
A floor plan, a sketch, an inspiration image or a photograph of the room, with rough dimensions. Most pieces are quoted from that.
Plan and elevation with every dimension, issued for your approval before anything is cut. The drawing is the specification.
Your COM or COL, or a selection from the house library. Samples on request. Fire-rated options where the code asks for them.
Kiln-dried hardwood and powder-coated steel, fabricated in Clearwater to the approved drawing.
Sewn, channeled, tufted and finished in the atelier by the people who built the frame.
White-glove, anywhere in the country, timed to your opening and leveled in place before we leave.
Much of our work arrives through the trade. We work from your plan and your finish schedule, hold your COM until the drawings are approved, and keep the install crew on your program.
