[{"role": "system", "content": "Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. The word \"upholstery\" comes from the Middle English word \"upholder\", which referred to a tradesman who held up his goods. The term is equally applicable to domestic, automobile, airplane and boat furniture, and can be applied to mattresses, particularly the upper layers, though these often differ significantly in design. A person who works with upholstery is called an upholsterer; an apprentice upholsterer is sometimes called an outsider or trimmer. Traditional upholstery uses materials like coil springs (post-1850), animal hair (horse, hog and cow), coir, straw and hay, hessians, linen scrims, wadding, etc., and is done by hand, building each layer up. In contrast, modern upholsterers employ synthetic materials like dacron and vinyl, serpentine springs, and so on. \"Upholder\" is an archaic term used for \"upholsterer\", but it appears to have a connotation of \"repairing\" furniture rather than creating new upholstered pieces from scratch (cobbler vs. cordwainer). In 18th-century London, upholders frequently served as interior decorators responsible for all aspects of a room's decor.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Upholstery is the weird, its all about adding the cushioning and covers to seats and things"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Huh, that's is pretty weird.
