French term or phrase: artisans gainiers
This is a text about collections of designer furniture.

I am not sure how to translate "artisans gainiers" in the below context. Appears to be related to leather....but if this is the case, I am not sure how this is different from "artisans maroquiniers".

Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give.


"Dans la collection XXXX, YYYY a voulu retrouver la singularité des meubles d’usage et privilégier la convivialité, le confort et l’harmonie.[br]Ayant à l’esprit le savoir-faire des artisans gainiers, maroquiniers et dinandiers, le designer a soigné les associations entre le bois, le cuir et le métal.[br]"

or perhaps "specialist leather craftsmen"? Sorry, no time to look more
