Goblet pleat heading at 2.75× fullness was executed across 34 panels in eight rooms. Each panel was fabricated to finished length — no on-site hemming. The primary bedroom motorized track was hardwired during rough-in; no surface wiring is visible anywhere in the residence.

Dedar ‘Nettuno’ in Avorio was selected for its hand-woven texture and the way it holds goblet pleat geometry without stiffening agents. Rogers & Goffigon ‘Camden’ in Dove for the headboard — a wool-linen blend that buttons cleanly without puckering at the tufting depth specified.

• Full drapery program — 8 rooms, 34 panels total
• Goblet pleat throughout at 2.75× fullness
• Primary bedroom: motorized Silent Gliss 5100 track, hardwired
• Upholstered headboard — button-tufted, California King, 72" height
• Bed linen program in Irish linen

The Climate Fabrication Protocol requires open-cell marine foam cores in all outdoor cushion work and down alternatives in all fill specifications for the main house. Every seam in the outdoor program uses UV-stabilized thread; cover fabric is performance ground with removable zip covers for winter storage.

Ivory linen throughout the living room seating program — sourced from a single dye lot to ensure color consistency across sofas, chairs, and ottoman. The banquette back panel tufting in cream wool was executed at a 4" button grid — deeper than standard, requiring additional fill behind the face fabric to maintain panel flatness between buttons.

• Living room — two sofas, lounge chairs, tufted ottoman, wicker accent chairs
• Dining banquette — continuous L-run, back panel tufted in cream wool
• Drapery throughout main house and pool house — ripple-fold at 1.8×
• Primary bedroom — upholstered headboard, bed linen program, Eastern King
• Bar and library upholstery
• Outdoor terrace sectional cushions and scatter — marine foam cores

The primary bedroom platform bed in ivory bouclé required a custom base frame to clear the floor heating system. Dressing room millwork — painted cabinetry with brass hardware and lit display shelving — was fabricated in Era's Brooklyn atelier and installed in coordination with the millwork contractor. The leather banquette in the living room uses a French cleat wall-mount system for a floating appearance.

Ivory bouclé for the primary bed — a looped textile that required extra care at seam lines to prevent loop distortion. Dark greige wool for the upholstered wall panels — a flat-woven material that reads as architectural rather than domestic at the scale of a full bedroom wall. Custom leather for the banquette — a full-aniline hide selected for hand and patina potential.

• Primary bedroom — upholstered platform bed in ivory bouclé
• Primary bedroom drapery — pinch pleat, blackout interlining
• Dressing room millwork — painted cabinetry, lit shelving, center island, tufted bench
• Living room — custom leather banquette with concealed storage
• Living room — full drapery program
• Secondary bedrooms — upholstered headboards, drapery, built-in closets — both rooms
• Kitchen millwork documented under Buildings & Projects

The Kagan curved sofa required full structural disassembly before reupholstery — the original frame was inspected, re-glued at loose joints, and re-webbed before new fill and fabric. The Robsjohn-Gibbings chairs were stripped to bare frame; original horsehair fill was replaced with a period-appropriate eight-way hand-tied spring system. Both pieces now carry a 25-year structural warranty on the frame work.

Emerald velvet for the Kagan sofa — a cut pile at 32 oz weight selected for its recovery under the curved form's compound geometry. Ivory linen for the Robsjohn-Gibbings chairs — a plain-weave at 180 gsm that reads correctly against the original chair proportions. Sixteen dining chairs fabricated in-house in a wool-cotton blend — same dye lot, all sixteen covers cut from a single roll.

• Vladimir Kagan curved sofa — full structural restoration and reupholstery in emerald velvet
• Robsjohn-Gibbings lounge chairs (pair) — stripped to frame, re-sprung, reupholstered in ivory linen
• Floor-to-ceiling sheers — three exposures, living room
• Blackout drapery — three bedrooms, all with blackout interlining
• Sixteen custom dining chairs — fabricated in-house
• Three bedrooms — upholstered headboards and full closet millwork
• Bar millwork documented under Buildings & Projects

Across an eight-bedroom gut renovation, every upholstered piece and every case piece was fabricated and delivered on a single coordinated installation schedule. The dressing room millwork and bedroom closets were delivered and installed one floor at a time, working up from the garden level. The banquette programs — three separate locations on the principal floor — were installed after all millwork was complete to protect the fabric from construction traffic.

Multi-room drapery program required a single approved color family across seven distinct rooms with different exposures and architectural characters. Heading types were varied by room: goblet pleat in formal rooms, ripple-fold in secondary bedrooms and the library. All blackout interlining was consistent across the residence — same weight, same color, same supplier — to ensure uniform light block at every window.

• Full drapery program — principal floors, seven rooms
• Upholstered headboards — three bedrooms
• Closet millwork with upholstered interiors — throughout
• Built-in millwork — seven bathrooms
• Dining room millwork and upholstered seating
• Library floor-to-ceiling built-ins and upholstered reading chairs
• Multiple banquette programs with concealed storage — principal floor
• Garden level: wine storage system, paneled office, built-in storage program
• Kitchen and butler's pantry cabinetry documented under Buildings & Projects

The L-sectional was designed to the structural column grid of the loft — the corner unit sits exactly at the column centerline, with both legs of the L reading as independent pieces from across the room. The upholstered wall panels in the primary bedroom were installed on a French batten system; the three panels meet at designed shadow reveals rather than butted joints.

Ivory performance fabric for the sectional — a solution-dyed acrylic that passes the same abrasion standards as contract seating. Selected over natural linen for the SoHo location: an open-plan with no defined entry means high-traffic areas cannot be isolated. Dark greige wool for the bedroom wall panels — a flat-woven 400 gsm that provides meaningful acoustic mass at full-wall coverage.

• Custom L-sectional in ivory performance fabric — fabricated to column grid
• Primary bedroom — flat-panel upholstered wall system in dark greige wool, three panels
• Floor-to-ceiling drapery at arched windows — warm ivory linen, unlined
• Case pieces and TV cabinet — custom fabricated, designed by Era
