From Sketch to Rendering, Production, and Assembly

Creating custom furniture is a craft that combines artistry with modern technology. The process involves several essential stages, each contributing to the creation of a final product perfectly adapted to the client’s space and needs. In this blog, we will explore step by step the key stages of furniture making – from sketch, to rendering, execution, and installation.

Furniture Sketch and Preliminary Measurements

Every furniture project begins with a sketch. This represents the foundation of the entire process, being a preliminary drawing that outlines the shape, dimensions, and general structure of the furniture.

Preliminary Measurements
 To create an accurate sketch, it is essential to perform precise preliminary measurements of the space:

• Wall dimensions: length, height, and wall angles are measured accurately.
• Checking the angles: especially in rooms with irregular shapes, it is important to determine if the angles are 90° or different.
• Positioning of sockets: identifying and marking electrical outlets to adapt the furniture to them.

This stage is crucial to avoid later errors and to ensure a perfect integration of the furniture into the space.

Rendering: From 2D to 3D

After completing the sketch and preliminary measurements, the rendering stage follows. This provides a clearer vision of the final appearance of the furniture and allows adjustments before execution.

2D and 3D Renderings

• 2D Rendering: A two-dimensional representation of the furniture, providing an overview of dimensions and general shape.
• 3D Rendering: Offers a realistic and detailed perspective of the design, including colors, materials, and furniture textures.

Choosing Materials and Colors
 At this stage, the client expresses preferences regarding:

• Materials: MDF, chipboard, glass, metal, etc.
• Colors: from natural shades to vibrant or neutral tones.
• Textures: matte, ultra-matte, glossy, satin.

Shape and Structure Adjustments
 One of the advantages of renderings is flexibility. At this stage, adjustments can be made:

• Adding or removing drawers.
• Modifying the shape of furniture units.
• Introducing additional elements, such as a joly (lighting or led decorative system).

Final and Precise Measurements

After the rendering is approved, final and detailed measurements are taken. These confirm the exact dimensions of the furniture and the positioning of the elements within the space.

Incorporating Appliances (for kitchens)
 An important step is choosing and integrating appliances into the furniture:

• Sink and hob location: established to allow correct countertop cutting.
• Appliance dimensions: refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers are measured to fit perfectly into the furniture.

Creating the Technical Plan

Based on the final measurements, a detailed technical plan is created, including all dimensions, positioning, and specifications required for execution.

Final Adjustments
 At this stage, last touches can be made:

• Design modifications, if necessary.
• Minor adjustments to optimize functionality or aesthetics.

Furniture Production

Once the technical plan is finalized, it goes into production. The execution stages include:

• Cutting materials: chipboard, MDF, or other materials are cut according to the specified dimensions with a CNC.
• Drilling: holes are made for hinges, handles, screws, or other accessories.
• Assembling units: each piece is assembled in the workshop to verify fit and functionality.

Installation at the Client’s Home

The final stage is the installation of the furniture in the designated space. The assembly team ensures that each unit is correctly positioned and safely fixed.

Key aspects during installation:

• Countertop installation: in kitchens, the countertop is adjusted and cut for the sink and hob.
• Functionality check: drawers, doors, and other mechanisms are tested to ensure they work perfectly.
• Securing the furniture: wall-mounted units or other elements are firmly anchored.

Conclusion

The process of creating furniture, from sketch to assembly, is complex but highly rewarding. Each stage has its well-defined role, contributing to the realization of a personalized final product, perfectly adapted to the client’s space and preferences.

Whether it’s kitchen, bedroom, or living room furniture, collaboration between the client and the design & production team is essential to transform an idea into a functional and aesthetic piece of furniture.
