From treadle to comfort and style
Horn Furniture originated in Germany around 80 years ago and the continuous growth in popularity of this fine furniture is due to the tradition of high quality established in those early days.
In the twenty-first century that tradition of high quality is maintained and Horn now leads the world in sewing machine furniture with operations in Europe, Australia and the U.S.A.
In the 1860s sewing machines were operated by treadle and set into a table with the metal bed level with the top.
About a hundred years later the "free arm" or "sleeve arm" sewing machine started to become popular as sleeves, cuffs and other tubular items were so much easier to sew with the new designs.
Horn of course kept pace with developments and anticipated the the need for an effortless way to use the sewing machine in flatbed or free arm mode.
The result was the airlift mechanism which at a gentle press on the top of the machine raises it to a choice of either the flatbed or normal sewing position without lifting or "swinging" the machine into position.
Development is continuous.
Horn has swiftly responded to the latest generation of bigger, heavier long arm machines by offering 5 models which have been fitted with a new longer Horn "soft touch" air lifter. This suits these newer machines and all existing standard sized machines.

| Horn Hobby Chair £209.00 |
The Best Seat In The House
As any hobbyist will tell you one of the most important things you will need when sitting for long periods is a correct sitting posture, good support and probably most importantly comfort. We have all seen budget priced chairs which are photographed so beautifully but once starts to slip. Lack of adequate padding for instance or poor quality padding which starts to disintegrate within a very short period, poor quality components or manufacture are just a few examples.
The Horn Hobby Chair however, offers something for everyone, because after all we are all individuals with different needs. It features a 3 lever mechanism, this allows for huge precise adjustment, you can change not only the back height and rake position but also the tilt of the main seat, just like a luxury car seat. The Horn Hobby Chair offers a sculptured, deep, luxuriously padded seat with a contoured support to fit into your body. It can be quickly raised or lowered to your desired position by means of a gas elevator and to finish off the perfect chair its available in four home friendly fabrics. The perfect chair to finish off your perfect sewing room.
