Questions Clients Ask Before Starting

Published on March 14, 2025 — 6 min read

When a boutique hotel or a corporate office decides to renovate its furniture, the first questions usually revolve around deadlines, costs, and durability. But there is a set of less obvious concerns that arise once the project begins to take shape. Does aged leather behave the same in a humid climate as in a dry one? Do the tufting buttons give way with daily use? Can a Chesterfield sofa be combined with straight-line tables without the space losing coherence?

In our experience manufacturing seating for hotels in Mendoza and offices in Buenos Aires, these questions reveal something important: the person asking is not just looking for a piece of furniture, but for a piece that works within a real context. That is why, before starting any wholesale order, we dedicate a meeting to reviewing upholstery samples and discussing the expected traffic, the natural light in the environment, and the type of cleaning that will be applied. No two projects are the same, and that shows in the details each client brings to the table.

One of the most frequent queries is whether the vintage finish scratches easily. The short answer: yes, but that is part of the desired aesthetic. Aged leather is treated so that wear marks integrate naturally, like a well-worn leather jacket. Another recurring question is about the weight of Chesterfield sofas. Being solid structures with a wooden frame and helical springs, they can exceed 80 kg in a three-seater model. This means planning the building entrance and the final location before delivery.

There are also questions about color customization. We work with a palette that includes leather brown, emerald green, and gold, but each client can request a specific color sample. The artisanal dyeing process allows adjusting saturation and gloss, although we always recommend maintaining tones that age well over time. Finally, many ask if we offer financing for large orders. We do not publish prices because each project is quoted based on volume, finish, and delivery times, but we can say that we work with a progressive payment scheme linked to manufacturing milestones.

If you are considering a corporate furniture order with a vintage finish, we suggest writing down all the questions that arise during planning. Often, the most useful answer is not in a catalog, but in the conversation with the person who makes the pieces. That is why, at the end of each initial consultation, we deliver a written summary with the decisions made and the next steps. This way, both the client and our team are clear on what to expect before the first piece goes into production.
