Our vision Starts with you

Every custom creation begins with the understanding that comfort, design, and durability are the cornerstones of good craftsmanship.

At Alfred’s, there is no standard template—because no two projects are alike. Whether you’re furnishing a yacht or a home, our process is personal, meticulous, and made to last. With over 50 years of experience, we bring a deep respect for tradition to every modern detail.

Consultation & Discovery

Every project begins with understanding: your space, your lifestyle, your needs.

We meet with you—virtually or in person—to learn what you’re looking for, what you love, and how your space functions. For yachts, we gather vessel specs, floor plans, and model information. For homes, we walk through your layout, personal style, and existing pieces. This is where the vision begins to take shape.

Design &Material Selection

Once we understand your goals, we move into the design phase.

We’ll present material recommendations based on your environment and style. You’ll choose from a curated selection of fabrics, finishes, and trims, all vetted for durability and long-term wear. We collaborate closely to refine silhouettes, dimensions, and decorative details before anything is built.

Measurement& Patterning

For yacht interiors, we often work from design and model data or perform on-site measurements to ensure a perfect fit.

For home upholstery, we’ll either measure on-site or work with exact specifications provided. Every cut is intentional. Every pattern is built by hand. This step is where bespoke really comes to life—ensuring your piece is tailored down to the millimeter.

Handcrafting & Construction

Our team brings decades of experience to every piece we produce.

Whether it's a designed and built custom piece or a reupholstered antique, we use a combination of time-honored methods and modern materials to ensure your piece is as stylish and comfortable as it is enduring.

Final Fit & Finishing

Before your piece leaves our hands, it goes through a rigorous inspection process.

Cushions are tested for fit and structure. Details are checked for clean lines and call out designs. For yacht projects, we confirm precise onboard fit, install where needed, and ensure everything is precise and secure. For home projects, delivery and installation are handled with care, so your piece arrives ready to fit perfectly into your home landscape.

Ongoing Support

That’s why we’re always here for maintenance questions, replacement cushions, or new design needs—whether it’s months or years after your original order.

We believe longevity is the truest sign of luxury. Many clients return for additional rooms, refits, or seasonal refreshes. Once you work with Alfred’s, you’re part of a tradition that values lasting relationships as much as lasting craftsmanship.
