What is piping?
Piping is a visible, slightly raised seam detail used in upholstered furniture.
It is sewn between two fabric or leather surfaces and highlights lines and transitions.

In addition to its visual effect, piping can also reinforce the seam and define the contours of a piece more clearly.

Effect
Furniture with piping often appears more precise and classic.
Without piping, it feels calmer and more modern.

At Sternzeit Design
We use piping deliberately as a stylistic element, not as a requirement.
The durability of our furniture is based on the overall construction, regardless of this detail.

Why we use beech and oak
We work primarily with beech and oak because they reflect how we think about furniture: honest materials, regional sourcing, and long-term durability.

Instead of imported tropical woods, we focus on timber that grows closer to home and meets our standards for quality and longevity.

Available options
• Beech wood with walnut stain
• Oak wood with natural finish

Custom requests
On request, we can also produce your piece in other European woods that meet our quality standards.

Fabric samples are an essential part of choosing the right upholstery. They allow you to experience the material before making a decision, in terms of colour, texture, and overall feel.

Seeing a fabric in your own space makes a noticeable difference. Light, surroundings, and context all influence how a material is perceived. A sample helps you make a more confident and informed choice.

Our collection includes a range of carefully selected fabrics, from natural materials such as cotton and wool to durable, high-performance textiles. Each option is chosen for its balance of comfort, longevity, and aesthetic clarity.

In addition to appearance, practical qualities also matter. Depending on the setting, factors such as durability, ease of care, and resistance to wear can play an important role.

Fabric colour
Fabric colour can appear differently depending on light, surroundings, and screen settings.

We recommend viewing fabric samples in your own space to get the most accurate impression of tone and texture.

Natural materials and dyed fabrics may show slight variations, this is part of their character and not a defect.

Order fabric samples
We offer samples so you can compare colours and materials in your own environment before making a decision.
