Primary Use: Main Fabric



Please describe the project specifications

The client had a custom Abaco 50 built by Bruckmann Yachts. We had upholstered the clients previous boat 10 years ago, and they requested a similar feel, but simpler design, so the upholstery was comfortable, but not a design feature of the boat. We developed a simple tapered back for comfort, and omitted any knee or lumbar roll to minimize seams and stitch lines that would attract the eye. We used a firm Qualux foam for the seat base, and a medium Qualux foam for the backs. Ultraleather was used for its smooth, silky feel, and to match the Stidd Captains chairs situated at the helm.


What is unique or complex about the project?

We really liked the simple look of this design. With so many upholstery projects being busy with paneling and quilting these days, we were very pleased with the timeless look of a simple well fit, flat cushion.
