An Introduction to Duresta

Thank you for considering Duresta Hand Made
Upholstery. Duresta has been making high quality
upholstery for 70 years. Our factory is in Long Eaton,
a Nottinghamshire town renowned for the skill of its
people in all aspects of furniture making, from the
traditional joinery of frame makers through to all
kinds of fabric cutting and sewing expertise
and, of course, an unrivalled understanding
of upholstery. You will find that our furniture
making combines these skills with the best
materials available to produce long lasting
sumptuously comfortable upholstery. For more
detailed information please view our Quality and
Craftsmanship page
.

We always bear in mind that sofas and chairs are not
merely functional objects for seating. They also play an
important part in establishing the character of the room
they are set in. Although our designs naturally respond
to changing tastes, at the heart of each lies Classic
English Style, which throughout the world, is generally
considered to have a flavour of understatement,
subtlety and fine proportion.

We offer a very large range of fabrics which we source internationally
to ensure the widest choice of styles and colours. These are individually
hand cut and expertly sewn with separate valances applied by hand
slipstitching. All undergo rigorous quality testing to reduce the incidence of
premature wear and tear and to guide you as to suitability.

Duresta has had a long working relationship with The National Trust.

We hope that you find something which suits your taste from our ranges.
