The Gerriets sewing room

Our seamstresses, some of whom have decades of experience, use all the tricks of the trade to produce everything from gold leaf-covered decorative curtains, huge ceiling sails, velour hangings, grommets and nettle fabrics, stretch materials and round horizons for the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

A wealth of experience and state-of-the-art technology come together here. We can call the longest automatic sewing machine and the widest weaving machine in the world our own, as well as a cutting and panelling machine that was developed especially for us after months of planning.
