Upholding the Past, Furnishing the Future
Since its post-war beginnings in 1947, the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers (AMUSF) has grown into a respected member's Association, dedicated to supporting the upholstery and soft furnishings professions
Rooted in tradition yet forward-looking, we stand for craftsmanship and skill
Today, we continue to uphold the values of quality and excellence that have defined our industry for generations
