The Charter Street Story

Brand statement

No home is the same as the next and we believe the same should be true for the furniture that fills a home. Offering fine bespoke upholstery hand made by master artisans in North Carolina, Charter Street supports a life well lived, and sets the stage for memories to cherish. With modern classic designs—including traditional, transitional, and more contemporary forms— and endless fabric selections, you can create heirloom-quality pieces that will root a room in both lived-in comfort and superior style.

Frames

The heart of our pieces

All Charter Street frames are proudly manufactured in the United States, in the heart of North Carolina. Charter Street frames are constructed of solid, kiln-dried solid Beechwood and Baltic Birch wood frames form the foundation of Charter Street furniture. Only the most exclusive hardwoods are used, and our process of kiln-drying ensures their strength and longevity. Every frame is double-doweled and secured with screws and glue— with corner-blocks to reinforce corners and joints. These exacting standards offer a lifetime of peerless comfort.

Impeccable Cushions

Charter Street pieces are renowned for our peerless cushions. Seat cushions are constructed of a high resiliency Ultracel® foam core enveloped in plush, high loft polyester fiber and cased in down-proof ticking. Back cushions are made of high-quality polyester fiber packed in individually sewn channels to prevent migration. All of the above is hypoallergenic and offers an exquisite sitting experience.

Fashionable Fabrics

Any piece of Charter Street furniture can be upholstered in a variety of fabrics — including the customer’s own material (COM) — for a truly one of-kind design. Our fabrics are sourced world wide from the finest mills to ensure a luxurious hand and sumptuous comfort. We provide a range of on-trend colorways and captivating palettes that complement any style of design.

Detailed Finishes

Committed to the details, our finishing experts place exacting care in hand-finishing every piece of Charter Street furniture. For frames with exposed wood, this stage vividly brings to life the grains of the wood, or enhances the feel of the piece by pairing the color to the upholstery. Our custom-blended finishes include Walnut, Matte Black, and White, and deliver that final touch of elegance.

Cushions

The Charter Street cushion is a hypoallergenic cushion which includes a high resiliency, Ultracel® foam core wrapped in plush, high loft, polyester fiber and surrounded by down proof ticking, thereby creating a plump, softly inviting seat with a built-in crown. The Charter Street back pillows are comprised of high quality polyester fiber packed in individually sewn channels to prevent migration. This creates a soft, yet tailored look with long-lasting resiliency. Seat cushions and back pillows feature a zippered envelope construction. Regular maintenance of your Charter Street cushions will extend the life of the cores. Be sure to flip and fluff cushions regularly, to keep them looking and feeling like new.

Commited to the details

The production is meticulously managed so that a beautiful piece is the final result every time - from the production sample shown at market to a reorder one year later. Overseeing the selection of the best raw materials, using skilled carvers and craftsmen, artistic finishers and packing the piece so it arrives without damage are just a few ways we know that we can stand behind the quality of our furniture.
