Architectural Wall Panel Systems Built to Transform Your Space
Every project is built to order in our workshop — nothing is pre‑made or imported. All of our custom pieces are handcrafted in the USA across our two in‑house facilities: our Fort Lee upholstery workshop and our West Nyack CNC fabrication shop. Nothing is outsourced — every component is built by our team with American craftsmanship, precision, and pride.
Our custom wall panel systems are engineered, fabricated, and installed with architectural precision. Whether you need upholstered panels, acoustic solutions, CNC‑cut designs, or full wall systems integrated with millwork and lighting, every panel is built from the ground up in our workshop using premium materials and advanced fabrication methods.
While cabinet shops handle the wood structure, our team handles the upholstery, comfort, and architectural alignment — giving designers a single source for fully finished banquettes and wall systems.
Faster Than Industry Lead Times
Most trade‑only manufacturers quote 12–20 week lead times for custom wall systems and upholstered architectural elements. Our workshop delivers fully custom wall panels in 4–8 weeks — handcrafted in the USA with complete control over design, materials, and fabrication.
We collaborate with designers, architects, builders, and homeowners to deliver wall panel installations that elevate both residential and commercial interiors.
Built for Design, Engineered for Performance
Our wall panel systems are more than decorative elements — they are structural, functional, and tailored to the architectural needs of your space. From routed wood substrates to acoustic assemblies and integrated lighting, each system is fabricated with precision and installed with care.
Starting Prices for Custom Wall Panels
Our pricing reflects the level of craftsmanship, materials, and architectural precision involved in every project. Final cost depends on design complexity, materials, height, and installation requirements.

Custom Wall Panel Systems FAQ
What makes your wall panel systems different from pre‑made or imported panels?
Our panels are built entirely in‑house across our Fort Lee upholstery workshop and West Nyack CNC facility. Nothing is pre‑made or imported — every substrate, cut pattern, foam assembly, and upholstery detail is fabricated by our team for architectural precision.
Can you coordinate with cabinet shops or millwork teams?
Yes. Cabinet shops typically handle the wood structure, and we handle the upholstery, comfort, and architectural alignment. This gives designers a single source for fully finished wall systems that integrate cleanly with millwork.
How do you achieve faster lead times than trade‑only manufacturers?
Because all CNC cutting, substrate fabrication, upholstery, and finishing happen in our own facilities, we control every step of production. This allows us to deliver custom wall panel systems in 4–8 weeks instead of the industry‑standard 12–20 weeks.
What factors influence the cost of custom wall panels?
Pricing depends on panel height, total square footage, fabric or leather selection, foam density, acoustic assemblies, CNC‑cut patterns, lighting integration, NYC access, and on‑site installation requirements.
Do you build NRC‑rated acoustic wall panels?
Yes. We fabricate acoustic systems using sound‑absorbing substrates, acoustic foam assemblies, and fabric‑wrapped finishes. NRC‑rated materials are available for offices, studios, and commercial interiors.
Can you integrate lighting, outlets, or millwork into the wall panels?
Yes. We regularly integrate LED lighting, reading lights, USB outlets, recessed niches, and millwork alignment. Panels are engineered to coordinate with electrical and architectural requirements.
What substrates do you use for wall panel construction?
We use MDF, plywood, or composite substrates depending on the project. Large spans receive reinforced frames, and moisture‑resistant options are available for commercial environments.
Do you fabricate curved or geometric wall panels?
Yes. Our CNC facility allows us to create curved, angled, radius, geometric, and patterned panels with precise alignment to your room’s architecture.
Can you install wall panels in NYC apartments with tight access?
Yes. We specialize in NYC installations. Panels can be fabricated in modular sections to navigate elevators, staircases, and narrow entryways.
What materials can I choose for my wall panels?
We offer performance fabrics, linen, velvet, suede, full‑grain leather, faux leather, and COM. Decorative stitching, trim, and custom color matching are also available.
Are your wall panels suitable for commercial and hospitality spaces?
Absolutely. We build systems for hotels, offices, conference rooms, reception areas, and retail environments. Fire‑rated materials and commercial‑grade assemblies are available.
How do you ensure architectural alignment during installation?
Our team handles wall preparation, layout alignment, modular assembly, and seamless transitions around corners, outlets, and built‑ins. Every panel is measured and installed to match your room geometry.
Can you match my designer’s drawings or architectural plans?
Yes. We work directly with designers, architects, and builders. We can follow your drawings or help refine the design before fabrication.
What is the process for starting a custom wall panel project?
Send us your drawings, inspiration images, wall dimensions, and preferred materials. We’ll review your details, refine the design, and prepare a detailed estimate.
Do you offer white‑glove delivery and installation?
Yes. We provide full delivery, on‑site coordination, and installation for residential and commercial projects across NYC, NJ, Westchester, Rockland, and Fairfield County.
