About Dr.Sofa

Shlomi Gal - Eini, widely known as Dr. Sofa®, has revolutionized the way people experience furniture.

From an early age, Shlomi displayed a natural talent for furniture design and repair, sketching and working on pieces as part of his family’s multigenerational business—a tradition spanning over three generations. His innate skill and passion quickly became evident, transforming his craft into a lifelong mission to reimagine furniture for modern living.

After his apprenticeship with basic carpentry, Shlomi quickly expanded into:

Upholstery
Refinishing
Repairing antique furniture
Designing his own signature furniture

Shlomi has built a reputation for delivering innovative furniture solutions across both private and public sectors. His expertise includes customizing and adapting furniture for commercial spaces, such as office lobbies, corporate buildings, and coworking spaces, with notable collaborations including companies like WeWork. Over the years, serving the fast-paced and space-constrained New York City market, he identified a common issue: residents and businesses frequently purchased oversized furniture that couldn’t fit through narrow hallways, small elevators, or tight apartment doorways. This challenge became especially prominent during moves in and out of the city, creating a demand for specialized furniture disassembly and reassembly services tailored to urban living.
