Om Furnishing Cushion Works

We’ve been here in Vadgoensheri for a good while now, just doing our thing with cushions and stuff. It gets pretty dusty in the workshop with all the foam we have to cut up, but that’s just how it goes when you’re making things by hand. Most days start early because there is always a pile of fabric waiting to be stitched. We aren’t a big factory or anything fancy, just a few of us working on benches. Sometimes the sewing machine acts up and we have to spend an hour fixing it before we can get back to the actual work. People come in with their old sofas or chairs that have seen better days, and we try to make them comfortable again. It’s hard work on the back, bending over those tables all day. The floor is usually covered in little scraps of thread and leftover stuffing by the afternoon. We don’t have a big fancy showroom, just the workspace where we get things done. You can usually hear the radio playing in the background while we work. It’s a simple life, really. We just focus on the task in front of us and try to get the measurements right so the cushions actually fit. Vadgoensheri has changed a lot since we started, but we’re still here in the same spot, just keeping busy with the daily orders that come through the door.
