About Us

PLUSH HOME is Nina Petronzio's furniture line available to the public and to the Trade exclusively at her Melrose Avenue showroom in West Hollywood, and through the Shanahan Collection at the Denver Design Center.  Environmentally hand-crafted in Los Angeles, the PLUSH HOME furniture line ships globally and is housed in influential homes and hotels worldwide.

The process of making our furniture begins with concept sketches, which are then followed by meticulously detailed shop renderings. From there all pieces are individually handmade in Los Angeles using a selection of the finest woods, finishes, down, and fabrics to create a sense of warmth and richness that cannot be duplicated by a machine.

Lead Times:
Upholstery: approximately 6-8 weeks
Woodwork: approximately 8-10 weeks
Please allow an additional 2-14 days for nationwide shipping. Manufacturing time may be extended for custom orders or fabric delays.

Wood Types & Finishes
Since every wood species (indeed every tree) has its own personality, our manufacturing process begins with an appreciation for the natural beauty of the woods we use. Our craftsmen discerningly select individual boards and exotic veneer sheets for every piece of furniture we make, choosing for clarity, color, and most of all beautiful grain. Items in our furniture line are hand-made in Maple, Mahogany or Walnut, with a selection of patented finish samples to select from. Additional hardwoods, exotic veneers, and custom finishes are also available.

Maple

has a very fine, smooth, and even texture. Its grain is typically straight, but frequently offers subtle curly or wavy figuring. White to crème color in its natural form, Maple readily absorbs finishes well, allowing it to be stained to simulate a variety of other wood species. Maple items are best described as close-grained and subdued, known for its time-honored history in American colonial furniture. Generally used for medium price-ranged categories, we offer 12 finish options to select from, with suggested sheen levels of medium, high gloss, or painted lacquer. There is a 15% upcharge for custom finish requests.

Mahogany

 is considered to be one of the most premium woods in which to create fine furniture. Charming irregularities in its grain and interlocking parallel ribbons often produce highly desired figures such as fiddleback, blister, stripe, and mottle. Although the elegance of its open pores (often revealing natural hints of dark colored gum or white deposits inside them) give this tropical wood a beloved texture, our seasoned craftsmen can also attain “full-filled” options for those who prefer a smoother quality. Mahogany’s natural color of reddish brown can accommodate most stains, working exceptionally well and most popular in our darker finishes. We offer 12 finish options to select from, with suggested sheen levels of medium or French Polish.  There is a 15% upcharge for custom finish requests.

Walnut

is a prized species of wood used for fine furniture. Acclaimed for its graceful shading and the extensive variety of patterns within its own species (stripes, burls, mottles, crotches, and curls), Walnut also possesses superior physical qualities.  Naturally light to chocolate brown in color, with moderately open grain lines throughout, Walnut exudes an inherently rich and warm feel with or without additional staining.  For the connoisseurs who may not prefer the “reddish” tones that are inherent to Mahogany woods, our craftsmen can attain true “chocolate” shades with Walnut. Even in the darkest finishes, at closer look the exquisite patterns  synonymous with this wood reveal an unparalleled elegance. We offer 4 finish options ranging from light brown to ebony, with suggested sheen levels of matte, low, or French Polish.

SHEEN SELECTIONS
Matte shows the natural sheen of the wood. This option works well with Walnut and select exotic veneers.

Low is a very low reflective sheen. Works well with Walnut.

Medium is our preferred and suggested standard selection for Maple and Mahogany. It is a moderate reflective sheen that finishes extremely well on all our items. 

High Gloss is a high reflective finish that shimmers brightly in light. Can only be applied to closed-poured wood selections (Maple, or Full-Fill Mahogany), and is typically specified for table tops and accent pieces. 

Lacquer is an extremely high reflective finish that is recommended for our paint color selections (black, white, red, or any Benjamin Moore paint color). Works best with Maple.

French Polish is an extremely high reflective finish that is applicable for all woods and exotic veneers. It is considered the premiere finish for fine furniture and concert classical instruments. The process is the same today as it has been for hundreds of years.  Multiple very thin coats of the shellac varnish are hand-wiped (padded) onto the wood surface. This method of finishing is labor and skill intensive but the resulting finish can be absolutely incredible - a clear, yet warm and earthy finish that enhances the color and texture of the wood for maximum beauty. 

EXOTIC WOOD VENEERS
A wide range of exotic veneer upgrades are available on all our furnishings, usually applied on doors, drawer fronts, and tops, but are also used all-around. Our exotic veneers are hand-rubbed to bring out the brilliance of their natural beauty.  Below are samples of our Tier I and II upgrade options . Please request to view samples of the hundreds of additional exotic breeds that we work with. Depending on the selection, our suggested sheen level for exotic veneers is typically matte or French polish.
