At Treca every action is a honed skill, tradition is preserved and expertise has been passed on over generations. Knowing how to get a good night's sleep is an art that Treca will introduce you to through the creation of its products. Due to our refined materials and exceptional fabrics selected by master artisans, you will feel like you're sleeping on a fluffy cloud.
Upholsterer-decorator: a role requiring excellence
The role of upholsterer-decorator consists of designing, manufacturing and upholstering a variety of furniture such as beds, armchairs, chairs, sofas, etc. Masters of materials, the upholsterer-decorator works just well in both renovating as embellishing the most beautiful creations of contemporary designers with fabrics. A good upholsterer knows how to satisfy each customer's needs. This is a real expertise that Treca has acquired over the years and for which the brand now has undisputed expertise.
Treca covers its headboards and bed bases with the most beautiful fabrics in collaboration with several world-famous textiles companies such as Pierre Frey, Lelièvre, Dedar or Designers Guild. The work of an upholsterer-decorator does not consist simply of covering items with fabric, but also matching the right material to the right support, to know how to perfectly fit a plain or patterned fabric, whatever the shape of the furniture.
« Bringing realistic products to life without being devoid of style and soul. My aim was to make them accessible while retaining the value. »
Charles Tassin, interior designer
Furnishing fabrics from the leading textiles companies
Treca's choice of collaborations is based on common values. Treca's teams choose textiles companies to compile a selection of fabrics that best suit its bed products. Fabric samples are sent t the Reichshoffen workshops in Alsace so that the master upholsterers can check that they're suitable for use.
Treca Stores offer their customers a wide range of fabric samples thanks to the Déco bundles which feature their partners' finest products. Customers can choose from the 70 fabrics in the bundle, but they also have the chance to offer their own fabric sample which will need to be checked by the masters upholsters in our Alsace workshops.
Textile companies' furnishing fabrics are applied to an armrest or box spring, but some headboard designs have their own pre-defined fabric. There are various fabric qualities according to the Martindale test which simulates the natural wear of the fabric and in turn tests its resistance. For example, fabric for making curtains is not the same as fabric used for headboards or even an armchair, as the strength of the fabric will be different. Also, a headboard will offer more fabric variety because our head just brushes against it when we sleep, whereas with an armchair, the contact and friction is continuous when we sit on it.
Treca can fully customise a bed base or headboard in 6-8 weeks, but it may take up to 12 weeks depending on the complexity of the project. This time frame, including a white glove delivery and installation service in your bedroom, is necessary as each product is custom-made in our workshops based on the customer's wishes.
Useful knowledge
A mattress cannot be covered in a furnishing fabric. The special fabric that covers a mattress is called "ticking"; it plays a key role in comfort and is designed specifically to adapt to climate.
Treca design workshops
Treca has two production plants in France for manufacturing all its products. The first is in Mer in Loir-et-Cher, not far from the Château de Chambord. This factory produces some of Tréca's collections such as L'Air du Temps, Les 100 Ciels and the Paris Collection. The Mer factory focuses on the production of small series runs, which allows it to produce these collections more quickly. L'Air du Temps and Les 100 Ciels are only intended for the European market.
The second plant is located in Reichshoffen in Alsace, the same place as the historic 1935 workshops. The term "workshop" (or atelier) is still used in Reichshoffen because the bed bases, headboards and mattresses are made traditionally by hand by the craftsmen. The master upholsterers take care of cutting the upholstery fabrics and the skilled seamstresses apply these beautiful fabrics to the bed bases and headboards.
In order to guarantee exceptional quality based on generations of French know-how, Treca manufactures its own springs in this workshop. The iconic Couture, Platinum, Impérial and Paris collections are also designed in Reichshoffen. These are ranges that you can find in all Treca Stores, particularly in the new London Store as all these products meet UK standards.
« The craftsman/artist partnership is of utmost importance. I appreciate the fact that my work is part of everyday life, but I am also fascinated by Treca's craftsmanship. »
