Cutting and sewing

If we are particular about the fabric, we are also very particular about the cutting and sewing of the processing.

FABRICS OFTEN SHRINK WHEN SCISSORS ARE USED TO BREAK UP THE FORCE EXERTED ON THE WEAVE. MOREOVER, THE DEGREE OF SHRINKAGE VARIES FROM FABRIC TO FABRIC, SO TRES PREPARES THREE DIFFERENT MOLDS FOR EACH SOFA AND CUTS EACH PIECE BY HAND.

Furthermore, sewing also has a significant feature.

Italian sofa covers are generally not washable. They are so perfectly sized to accentuate the form that once washed, they cannot be put back on. But sofas are used every day. It is natural to want to keep it clean, especially if you are a clean-living Japanese.

THEREFORE, TRES SOFA COVERS ARE MADE SLIGHTLY LARGER AND SEWN MORE TIGHTLY WITH THE ASSUMPTION THAT THEY WILL BE WASHED. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE MADE THE ZIPPER OPENING LARGER TO MAKE IT EASIER TO PUT THE COVER ON AT HOME.

Italian sofas have a long history, and there is still much to learn about cutting techniques and the beauty of stitching. However, Japan is a country with world-class industrial technology, and Ishikawa Prefecture, where we are based, was once a major producer of high-end apparel.

THE CUTTING AND SEWING OF TRES IS HANDLED BY THE ENGINEERS FROM THOSE DAYS, AND THEY HAVE GIVEN US MANY OF THEIR SKILLS AND IDENTITIES SINCE THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED. ALL OF THEM ARE NOW OVER 70 YEARS OLD, BUT THEY ARE STILL ACTIVE AND HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN TRAINING OUR IN-HOUSE SEWING TECHNICIANS.

We offer sofas that are a perfect fit for the Japanese lifestyle, combining Italian sofa technology with Japanese cutting and sewing techniques.

WE INVITE YOU TO SIT DOWN ON A TRES SOFA AND LOOK AT AND TOUCH THE FINISHED PRODUCT, INCLUDING THE SEWING.
