idiom of the upholstery/upholstering

Of the various translations I have for "stoppning", "upholstering" or "furniture upholstering" seemed the only one that would have its own idioms. Finally found an analogous English use in Sweden -- see the sample sentence and "Sammanfattning" in the reference link for it.
Example sentence:

"The idiom of the products communicates stability and security even though they are suitable for living in motion. "

Peer comment(s):

agree egj_translation : I would say "the idiom of upholstery" rather than "the upholstery", though, considering the asker's context. http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/8/view/7105/the-kimono-...

You're right, I have now idea how that article crept in there. Too little sleep, I guess!
Something went wrong...
