Have you ever wondered what it’s like to sit in the lap of luxury?
Let us introduce you to our latest showroom offering: Custom furniture by Fabricut. We are so enamored with the quality of this furniture that we have to share the story with you of how it all melded into one remarkable design.
A Story In The Making
1. The Selection Process
As they say, “The first step is always the hardest”. That was true for our decorators, Marie and Kristen, as there are so many styles to choose from for every decor theme.
We knew we wanted a chair but with 19 frame styles to choose from, the selection process became an entity in itself as they were all showcase-worthy selections.
We’ll show all of the selections in our source guide at the end of our Blog.
The Reese Chair
To further examine the selection process and how we came upon ‘The Reese Chair’, we spoke with our designer, Marie Goldsmith.
Marie based the selection on what she would have in her own home. “The beauty and simplicity lean toward modern, however, it will complement any design theme - even traditional, with a darker wood finish and the right choice of fabric. I looked at the lines of the chair knowing that it would fit comfortably for both men and women.”
The importance of displaying a custom piece in our showroom gives our customers the gift to sit and experience the weight of the quality.
Let’s Build Our Chair
What makes for an exceptional piece of furniture is the craftsmanship and the materials.
Fabricut’s furniture is made in the USA by hand using sustainable manufacturing processes.
A generation of craftsmanship goes into each and every design. Many of the artisans who build Fabricut’s furniture have learned their trade from their parents.
Generational. An heirloom piece of furniture that when the time comes, is suitable for the expense of reupholstery.
The Spring and Down cushion is built to last. The springs, or encased coils, are surrounded by high-resiliency foam that is wrapped in fiber, feather, and down, and covered by a protective down-proof ticking.
With ten wood finishes to choose from, there is something for every interior design theme.
Wood Finish, Our Preference.
When selecting the wood finish, we realized the importance of not going too trendy as this is a lifetime chair. Our finish, Desert Cream, while lighter, presents the graining of the wood and will remain in style for years to come.

Designing Chair Couture
Fabricut Furniture’s Frame fabric collections.
While Fabricut provides its Frame Fabric collection, providing hundreds of fabric options included in the price of each furniture piece, your fabric selections are endless. Yes, there are endless options, as any fabric from Fabricut’s upholstery libraries can be used, as well as, their fabulous trim collections. Fabricut also hosts a line of high-performance upholstery fabrics that are a perfect fit for all upholstered furnishings.
Chair Couture, Mohair.
Building and designing a statement furniture piece deserves a luxurious fabric.
Are you familiar with Mohair? Obtained from the Angora goat, Mohair is one of the oldest textile fibers. It is resilient, lustrous, durable, and has a hand similar to that of a quality velvet.
For our design team, Fabricut’s Mohair in the color of Coin was the optimum choice for our Reese chair.
Finally, Reese has arrived.
Anticipation … Is keepin’ me waiting!
If you’ve ever ordered custom products, you know the wait can be long. The anticipation of seeing the final product is well worth that wait, though!
It did take about eight weeks from start to finish, but we could not be more impressed with the results of our design. The weight and the overall quality of the chair were an unexpected delight!
As excited as we are about ‘Reese’, we are just as excited to display her in our showroom creating a vignette with a grasscloth backdrop, woven wood drapery, Roman shade sample, and an idea for an area rug too. An invitation to take a seat in the lap of luxury.
Chair It Is!
Are you ready to meet ‘Reese’? We feel we’ve come to know her as a friend. The type of friend that invites you to relax and unwind after a long day. Finding that we take full advantage of taking time during our day to do just that we invite you to join us in taking a seat and enjoying a moment .. or two in getting to know Reese.
We thoroughly enjoyed the entire process of designing our Reese chair; a collaboration that encompassed our entire Knight’s team. With the addition of custom furniture to our showroom, we are truly a one-stop shop for all of your interior needs: Window treatments, flooring, wall coverings, and renovation services for both residential and commercial applications.
