Mööblinõelad

Mööblinõelad, also known as furniture tacks or upholstery tacks, are small, decorative nails used to fasten fabric or other decorative materials to furniture. They are typically made of metal, often brass, steel, or copper, and feature a flat, broad head and a sharp, pointed shaft. The primary function of mööblinõelad is to secure upholstery fabric to the underlying frame of a piece of furniture, preventing it from coming loose.

Beyond their functional purpose, mööblinõelad also serve an aesthetic role. Their decorative heads come in a variety of designs, including plain, hammered, or embossed patterns, adding a touch of visual interest and detail to the furniture. These decorative elements can complement the overall style of the piece, from traditional to contemporary. They are often used in conjunction with other upholstery techniques and materials, such as webbing, foam, and batting, to create a finished and comfortable piece of furniture. The process of inserting mööblinõelad requires careful placement and the use of a hammer to drive the shaft into the wood frame without damaging the fabric or the tack head. Their use is prevalent in the creation and restoration of antique and custom-made furniture.
