Ferrufino Interiors: Family Owned for 55 Years

Jose Efrain Ferrufino, Sr.

(1925-2012)

Our founder, Mr. Ferrufino, started his one-man upholstery business in 1968 out of his home in Mar Vista. He was the salesperson, cutter, sewer, upholsterer, and deliveryman. His wife, Mrs. Alicia Ferrufino, did the scheduling and bookkeeping. Soon after moving to Culver City, word spread of Mr. Ferrufino's craftsmanship, hard work, and honesty. Solely through word-of-mouth, his clientele, as did his workforce, began to grow. Today, Ferrufino Interiors dedicates itself to Mr. Ferrufino's legacy of an upstanding family atmosphere that continues to be the hallmark of our business to this very day.
