Silva Paris

What they make

According to their website, Silva Paris is a family-run upholstery house founded in 1982 and now led by Sarah Nourgoullous, operating two workshops in France: a confection workshop in Les Monts-d'Andaine, Normandy, making curtains, sheers, blinds, valances, cushions and bed linens, and an 8,000 m² seating workshop in Moncoutant (Deux-Sèvres) producing contemporary and period upholstered furniture such as chairs, armchairs, sofas, daybeds and benches. Furniture frames are built from solid wood, wrought iron or metal and padded with vegetable horsehair, feathers or foam over jute webbing and spring suspension. The company also installs stretched fabric and leather wall and ceiling coverings (tenture/gainage), using fabrics, leather, Alcantara suede, wool, linen or silk, which it states adds acoustic and thermal insulation. Finishing includes hand-sewn clip and ring curtain headings, contrast piping and passementerie. Silva sources fabrics from French, English and American textile publishers and also offers its own fabric collections. Stated clients include luxury hotels such as Shangri-La and the Martinez Cannes, plus restaurants and private residences, working alongside interior architects and decorators.
