About Chianelli Design

Chianelli Design is a Pittsburgh business that brings together furniture retail, reupholstery, and carpentry under one roof, earning a perfect 5-star rating from its customers. That combination is relatively rare and genuinely useful, especially for clients tackling larger interior projects that require both new pieces and the restoration of existing ones. Pittsburgh's vibrant design scene, anchored by neighborhoods like Shadyside and Lawrenceville, creates strong demand for businesses that can handle multiple aspects of a furnishing project. When you're redesigning a room and need custom woodwork alongside recovered seating, having one shop manage it all saves significant coordination time.

Services & Process

Their carpentry services add the ability to repair or rebuild furniture frames, customize dimensions, or create entirely new pieces to your specifications.

This breadth makes the shop a strong partner for interior designers who need reliable execution across multiple trades on a single project.

Chianelli Design serves Pittsburgh and surrounding Allegheny County neighborhoods, attracting clients from across the city's design-forward communities. Its Pittsburgh address makes it convenient for residents throughout the East End, North Side, and South Hills looking for a multi-service design and furniture shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Chianelli Design handle both the woodworking and upholstery on the same piece?
Yes, that's one of their key advantages as a shop. If your chair has a damaged leg or cracked frame alongside worn fabric, they can handle the carpentry repair and the reupholstery as one coordinated project rather than requiring you to visit multiple shops.
Does Chianelli Design work with interior designers on client projects?
Shops with combined furniture, carpentry, and upholstery capabilities are particularly popular with interior designers because they reduce the number of vendors to manage. It's worth reaching out to discuss trade relationships and what their process looks like for professional design clients.
Can I commission a completely custom piece of furniture here?
With in-house carpentry capabilities, the shop can build custom furniture to your specifications, including dimensions, wood species, and finish. Pair that with reupholstery services and you can get a fully custom upholstered piece from one location.
What's the benefit of shopping for new furniture at a shop that also does reupholstery?
When you buy furniture from a shop with upholstery expertise, you can often customize the fabric on new pieces from day one rather than settling for stock options. You can also return later for fabric updates without starting over with a new vendor.
How do I know if my furniture is better restored or replaced?
A shop with both retail and restoration capabilities can give you an honest comparison. If the frame is solid and the piece has value, restoration often wins. If it's a lower-quality piece that would cost more to restore than it's worth, they can help you find a better replacement.
Does Chianelli Design serve commercial clients in Pittsburgh?
Shops with carpentry, upholstery, and furniture sourcing capabilities are well-suited for commercial work like office seating, restaurant banquettes, or hotel furnishings. Contact them directly to discuss project scale and lead times for commercial orders.
