We recently installed this custom made banquette for a Wheaton, Illinois client to provide attractive and comfortable seating in their traditional Irish pub basement. We were commissioned to design and craft a fitting piece of fine furniture to fit an area 143" wide by 54" deep with a single large piece of upholstered furniture that would provide comfortable seating for eight people. We designed and crafted a traditionally styled base and back in solid Cherry that would employ mortise and tenon joinery for heirloom quality that would be both comfortably upholstered and enhance the Irish Pub decor within the clients space. The U shaped banquette was made to fit in the 143" space with a .125" tolerance between to two side walls for a perfect fit.

The upholstery was done in a very soft and durable commercial grade recycled leather that is a wonderful compliment to the warm Cherry legs and aprons. The recycled leather appears to be genuine cowhide while offering additional durability in the order of 300,000 double rubs. The cushions and backs are made from shaped high resiliency foams with outer layers of "super soft" foam and are then wrapped in layers of Dacron to provide a plush feel with the required firmness below. The backs feature "soft tufting" with three rows of deeply seated buttons to provide further design appeal which enhances the traditional pub style.

The furniture was crafted from solid Black Cherry hardwood along with solid Maple support frames to allow for maximum strength in the backs. The front and back legs were hand shaped to offer an opposing curve and were cut from a thick Cherry slab. The aprons, legs, seat rails and outer back stiles and rails are all from the same storm downed tree to allow for exact grain and color match. The base of this custom upholstered sectional required sixty mortise and tenon joints. Employing traditional joinery provides for a heirloom quality piece of fine furniture with decades of comfortable and worry free use being the benefit. The Cherry hardwood was stained and then finished with our original oil and varnish mix that allows for protection while leaving the hardwood with a natural hand.

This custom made upholstered seating creation offers an attractive finishing touch to the genuine pub style in the clients space while being very inviting to the clients and their guests. We were hardly finished with the installation and pictures before the banquette was fully occupied by the clients family and holiday guests. The furniture and upholstery was accomplished in-house within our East Dundee, IL design studio and workrooms to exacting standards.
