Our history: The National Upholstery Association was created by the upholstery community itself. A handful of community members took the initiative, rolled up their sleeves, and got to work. Welcome to the movement! Our Mission & Vision: The Mission of the National Upholstery Association is to work together with the greater upholstery community to support and advance the field of professional upholstery. The Vision of the National Upholstery Association is to inspire a rebirth of the upholstery profession as a collaborative community of artists, entrepreneurs, historians, and champions for sustainability. Core Values: We believe that skilled upholstery has a continued relevance in the U.S. and Canada. We see upholsterers as a diverse community of smart, determined people who are excited to work together to accomplish great things in the field of upholstery. Guiding Principles: Knowledge & Learning, Diversity, Accessibility & Openness, Community, Outreach & Partnership, Creativity & Innovation.
