Performance Is More Than a Number

A fabric tested to 100,000—or even 200,000—double rubs may sound nearly indestructible. But here in Florida, true performance also depends on how beautifully that fabric handles sunlight, humidity, spills, cleaning and everyday life.

Our newest article at The Workroom takes you beyond the abrasion rating to explore what makes an upholstery fabric genuinely Florida-ready—from lightfastness and stain resistance to moisture management, cushion construction and the craftsmanship beneath the surface.

Because the right fabric is not simply the one with the biggest number. It is the one thoughtfully selected for your furniture, your home and the way you live.

Join us for a fabulously fun walk on the wild side.

After some extensive sanding and touchup work on the wooden frames, these beautiful chairs have traded quiet charm for a little untamed glamour. Newly dressed in sumptuous dark plum chenille with animated black-and-white embroidered Bengal tigers these beautiful chairs are ready to luxuriously stand out as they are just as comfortable to sit on as they are beautiful.

And oh, do they know how to work the light. As the fabric’s rich color shifts, the tigers seem to leap from the seats. A little movement, a different angle, and suddenly the whole room has attitude.

Elegant? Absolutely. Well-behaved? Let’s not get carried away. Life is too short for furniture that never flirts with the unexpected.

For several years, the world of interiors seemed to speak almost entirely in neutrals. Cool gray, pale beige, and quiet cream created calm, beautifully restrained rooms—but they often left little room for surprise.
