Dmitriy & Co designs and produces distinctive upholstery by hand. The company's history can be traced back to Lower East Side New York, where a mastery of handcraft and furniture-making was hard-earned over three generations. For Dmitriy & Co, the making itself has always served as both a vehicle of artistic expression and an ancient trade that remains embedded in our very being—for us, the compulsion to design and produce by hand is an undeniable force of nature. Every detail in every piece of furniture we design—from the beveled leg of a dining chair to the invisible seams of our hand-sewn upholstery, is approached within a 21st Century context: Never too precious or unapproachable, our furniture is intended to serve as the backdrop for contemporary life. “Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives, the cumulative experience of many masters of craftsmanship. Quality also marks the search for an ideal after necessity has been satisfied and mere usefulness achieved.” - John Ruskin
