HistoryMatthew Nafranowicz opened The Straight Thread in 2002 after he returned from a formal apprenticeship in furniture upholstery in Paris, France. Matthew had worked in the upholstery trade for some time, but the experience of working in Paris nurtured a deep commitment to the art and aesthetic of furniture upholstery. Opening the workshop in Madison provided Matthew with a way to continue the craft that he learned to love in Paris. |
