Kardaldovi — čalounění od kostry k poslednímu hřebíčku
A Czech-language editorial project documenting the layers, materials, decisions, and failure points involved in upholstering a classic chair or armchair.
Field notes
The project explains upholstery as a layered construction in which each lower component supports the next, rather than as a surface-only makeover. Its working notes cover diagnostic dismantling, frame-joint repair, webbing layouts, spring placement, twine binding, natural filling, foam alternatives, fabric rapports, and decorative finishing. It also recommends preserving removed layers and recording measurements before disassembly, including front-edge height, spring spacing, seam paths, and button positions.
