Seems like only yesterday...

Seems like it was only yesterday when I lasted posted something on my blog. I cant say that I am surprised that years has passed since my last posting. I have been very busy and business is doing really well.
So to bring you up to speed: The factory is running really smooth right now. We have a great team of craftspeople and woodworkers. Everyone really works well together and are very respectful of each others skills and trades. This has helped us to develop some stronger "looks" in terms of new frame style and development.  With the experience which out team has, it helps to create new frames but also new frames which are comfortable and work with the lifestyles of today.
We have been very fortunate to work with some great local commercial design firms and their clients. They have helped to push us into new areas of design. There has been a great deal of interest in creating work environments which are relaxed and comfortable which foster collaborative work. They tend to want "residential" feel. Which is funny because I find lately a lot of the residential furniture design has been looking like the frames we have been building for commercial use. I have been thinking about finally building myself a sofa for the back sun room at home. The photo below is a sofa we recently completed. This is going to be my inspiration for home.I am leaning towards a custom sized sectional which has different seat depth and arm widths and heights. But, I seem to always have other projects to work on , so my sofa for home is always on the back burner. One of these days I will get a new sofa for home. In the meantime, If you have a sofa at home from Cypress, I hope you are enjoying it!
