Manufacture of textile furniture
Designing quality textile furniture requires specialised know-how and reliable partners. At Ruchaud, we put our expertise as upholsterers to work for furniture brands, designers and publishers, designing and manufacturing seats, benches and other upholstered items to meet your requirements for comfort, aesthetics and durability.
Mass production of made-to-measure textile furniture for brands
Specialists in saddlery and upholstery, we work on a white-label basis and produce textile upholstery for your French furniture collections.
Our expertise covers a wide range of parts and components:
- Upholstered benches (linear, curved, angled...)
- Upholstered seats and backrests for armchairs or sofas
- Technical or decorative cushions, with or without covers, interior or exterior
- Fixed or convertible sofas
- Chairs or stools with textile seats
- Simple and complex foam cutting to measure for your trim requirements
We produce from your drawings, prototypes or existing models, ensuring reproducibility, control of tolerances and adaptation to usage constraints (transport, assembly, fixing, standards).
An agile industrial process, from prototype to series production
Our workshop is structured to support your projects from product design through to series production, as part of a genuine partnership and co-development dynamic.
- Technical and feasibility study
At Ruchaud, every project begins by listening carefully to your specifications, whether it's a one-off prototype or a series. We analyse your plans, templates or 2D/3D files to anticipate the constraints of assembly, textile assembly or fitting. Thanks to our in-house design office, we can model each project in 3D to guarantee controlled production and quality. - Prototype or pre-production
Rapid production of a test model or small series to validate the look, comfort and finish. - Industrialisation and production
Optimised production start-up, with management of cutting, material supply, assembly, quality control and logistics.
Our human-scale structure guarantees flexibility and responsiveness, while ensuring consistent quality for small and medium-sized production runs.
Tailor-made, integrated production in the Vendée region
Everything is done in our workshop in the Vendée, from cutting foam and fabric, to textile assembly, installation on structures and packaging.
This local and French expertise allows us to :
- Highly flexible production, adapted to your volumes and schedules
- Rigorous quality control at every stage
- Direct communication between your design office and our technical teams
- Controlled lead times and shipments throughout Europe
We can work on your own structures (wood, metal, etc.) or offer you co-contracting solutions with other industrial partners.
Professional solutions for mass-produced textile furniture
At Ruchaud, the quality of each piece begins with the rigorous choice of materials. We select foams and fabrics tailored to your specifications in terms of comfort, durability and aesthetics. Our materials are selected to meet the specific requirements of furniture: prolonged comfort, resistance to repeated use, ease of maintenance, compliance with standards (fire, hygiene, etc.).
Technical foam for lasting comfort
We work with a wide range of high-performance foams, adapted to different uses:
- Polyether or high resilience (HR) foams Perfect for interior upholstery, they offer long-lasting comfort with different densities depending on use (mattress, seat, backrest...).
- Dryfeel outdoor foams specially designed for outdoor use, they provide excellent ventilation, optimum drainage and quick drying, reducing the risk of damp and mould.
- Eco-friendly foams Made from recycled or natural materials, designed to reduce environmental impact without compromising durability or comfort.
Each project benefits from a personalised choice of foam, depending on your expectations in terms of comfort and the constraints of your furniture: reception, support, duration of use, technical standards (fire, hygiene, etc.).
High-performance fabrics and coatings
At Ruchaud, we carefully select each fabric to meet the specific needs of your sector. Our teams constantly monitor manufacturers and regularly attend textile trade fairs, guaranteeing access to the latest innovations. This process is managed by our purchasing department, in close collaboration with our design office.
We have an extensive fabric library, offering a wide range of coverings to suit your requirements: technical textiles, velvets, imitation leathers, real leathers, etc. in a variety of finishes (smooth, grained, textured or woven).
Thanks to our partnerships with leading textile companies (Sunbrella, Serge Ferrari, Spradling, Skaï Continental, Ultrafabrics, Delius, Griffine, Kvadrat, Gabriel, Camira...), we have access to the latest advances in fabrics: stain-resistant, anti-bacterial, water-repellent, abrasion-resistant and fire-resistant coatings.
We are also integrating an eco-responsible approach into our sourcing, with an increasing selection of recycled and labelled or low environmental impact materials, without compromising on durability and aesthetics.
With Ruchaud, you benefit from a wide choice of textures, colours and finishes, for perfect integration into your ranges.
Expert finishes
Every finishing detail contributes to the perceived quality of your textile furniture. We ensure a level of finish adapted to your brand standards:
- Reinforced seams, decorative topstitching, piping or quilting
- Discreet fastenings (zip, Velcro) or special assembly
- Fixed or removable covers depending on furniture configuration
- Fixing to wood or metal structures, gluing or stapling
Our rigorous choice of materials guarantees comfortable, durable and easy-to-maintain upholstery, designed to cope with the most demanding sailing conditions.
