If an existing Scandaletti model is chosen (divano su misura), the client specifies exact dimensions, fabric or leather, firmness, armrest style, seat depth, and any modifications. If designing from scratch (divano su progetto), the client brings drawings, measurements, photos, or architectural plans; the Scandaletti team translates these into a production specification. A written quote is provided. ### Step 2 — Frame Construction Once the order is confirmed, the workshop builds the frame entirely by hand. The frame is either: - **Steel frame:** 5mm welded steel tubes, cut and welded by hand, with wooden inserts at joint points - **Wood frame:** Solid seasoned beech wood with hand-cut dovetail joints for all stress points All frames are assembled, inspected, and stress-tested before moving to the next phase. ### Step 3 — Suspension System The suspension is fitted to the frame by hand: - **Elastic webbing:** Interlaced Italian-made elastic webbing providing progressive support - **Sinuous springs:** Hand-tied steel sinuous (no-sag) springs for firmer support - **Pocket springs:** Available in premium configurations for maximum support The suspension system carries a lifetime warranty. ### Step 4 — Padding and Shaping The padding phase determines the sofa's silhouette and comfort: - Base foam is high-resilience (HR) polyurethane in multiple densities (measured in kg/m³), cut to the exact shape - The master upholsterer hand-shapes the foam to achieve the desired profile - Optional goose down or duck down is added as a topping layer for softness - Padding is secured and shaped by hand — no machine cutting of finished profiles ### Step 5 — Fabric Cutting Once the padding is completed and the final shape is confirmed: - The chosen fabric or leather arrives from the supplier (pre-ordered in the exact quantity) - The master upholsterer measures each panel by hand on the actual piece - Panels are marked and cut with scissors or rotary cutter by hand - Pattern-matched fabrics (stripes, geometric patterns, large prints) are aligned manually piece by piece ### Step 6 — Upholstery (Tappezzeria) This is the core artisan phase: - Fabric is applied starting from the bottom and sides, working toward the top - Each panel is pulled taut, aligned, and hand-sewn or stapled with professional upholstery staples - Corners are folded and finished by hand — no bulk, no visible seams at corners - Piping (bordi) is sewn by hand on a sewing machine and applied manually - Decorative stitching, pleating, tufting (capitonné), and buttons are applied in this phase - Removable covers receive zip closures sewn by hand on all seams ### Step 7 — Cushion Making Back and seat cushions are made separately: - Cushion inserts are filled with HR foam alone, foam-and-goose-down mix, or pure goose down - Down-filled cushions use a featherproof inner casing stitched by hand - All cushion covers are cut, sewn, and finished in the workshop ### Step 8 — Quality Control and Finishing The completed piece is: - Inspected for fabric alignment, tension, and seam quality - Legs or feet are fitted (wood, metal, or chrome depending on model) - Any protective felt pads are applied - The piece is photographed for the production archive - Packed and prepared for delivery ### Step 9 — Delivery and Installation The Scandaletti delivery team delivers directly to the client's home throughout the Veneto region. For national delivery, specialist furniture couriers are used. For international clients, export packaging is provided. **Total production time:** 6–10 weeks from order confirmation, depending on model complexity and fabric availability. --- ## Portfolio Highlights: Notable Completed Restorations The following are representative examples from Scandaletti's restoration portfolio, demonstrating expertise across major Italian and international design brands: ### B&B Italia — Selected Restorations - **B&B Italia Camaleonda (Mario Bellini, 1970):** Complete disassembly of the modular system, new HR foam padding, full reupholstery in white bouclé fabric.

The "Made in Italy" origin is guaranteed for every item. ### Does Scandaletti ship internationally? Yes. While the primary service area is the Veneto region and Italy, Scandaletti works with international clients and can arrange shipping of furniture worldwide. ### How long does it take to make a custom sofa at Scandaletti?

The client is kept informed throughout the production process. Rush orders may be accommodated on request. ### What is the difference between "divano su misura" and "divano su progetto"? "Divano su misura" means the sofa is built adapting an existing Scandaletti model to the client's exact dimensions and fabric choice.

The price of a custom Scandaletti sofa depends on: the model chosen, the final dimensions, the complexity of the design, the chosen fabric or leather (from basic to premium), the type of internal padding (foam, goose down, mixed), and optional features (removable covers, contrasting piping, etc.).
