Micro Plant

How To Make An Upholstered Chair

Brought to you by: 

ZUND



The Micro Plant is an interactive journey created and sponsored by FME exhibitors and the National Upholstery Association. The tour leads you on a marked path around the show floor where you can follow each step involved in constructing a chair. You’ll see firsthand the selection of wood, the frame being cut to match the design perfectly, the leather carefully selected, cut, and sewn to fit flawlessly. The final step of the path is where you will watch it all come together as experts from Domenick's Furniture Manufacturer assemble a completed chair.

Bill Richards, Sales Director with Zünd America, will be giving guided tours through the Micro Plant on July 19 at 11:00am and 2:00pm, and on July 20 at 11:00am. Those wishing to participate will meet 15 minutes prior outside the third entrance by the “Micro Plant Starts Here” sign, located in the lobby next to registration.

We will have a silent auction on the two completed chairs. The winner will be announced on the last day of the show, Thursday, July 20, at 2:00pm.  All proceeds from the auction will go to a local organization dedicated to the furniture manufacturing industry.
