William Almas
Founder, Lead Upholsterer
William is our founder and lead upholster. He was technically trained at Sheridan College, and won a competitive apprenticeship opportunity.
He has always loved the craft behind things. Whether it be the art of brewing a perfect beer, growing a top-notch garden, or bringing an old piece of furniture back to life - he has a passion and talent for hand made excellence.
That passion has driven him to pursue his love of upholstery, and with great success. It is in his blood, as William's family has been in the furniture business since the early 1940s running Booth's Furniture and Interiors formerly located in Dundas, Ontario.
