Materials & Manufacturing
Materials are options, until a project reviews them.
The choice of a component changes the budget, the structure, or the approval a drawing needs. What can be made is decided in that review, not on this page.
Wood and veneer
- A solid edge and a veneered panel ask for different thickness, joints, and allowance for movement. That decision sits in the construction, and it is one of the things a drawing has to settle before cutting.
- Species, grain, and finish change the sample a studio is asked to approve, and they change the budget. Both are reviewed against the piece, not taken from a fixed list.
Upholstery
- Cloth, leather, and a fully wrapped frame change the seat construction and the number of samples required. They also change the budget of the piece.
- Where a project asks for a wear or flammability requirement, that requirement is checked during review. Nothing on this page is a certificate or a standing approval.
Stone and metal
- Stone thickness, edge, and the support beneath it change structure, handling, and the drawings that need approval. A metal frame, inlay, or base adds a second fabrication and a second set of drawings.
- These are options to evaluate together. A combination is feasible only after the project review, not because it appears here.

A preference is a starting point. Structure, budget, and approvals are checked against the piece.
