When it comes to upholstered furniture, upholstery fabrics play a key role. Together, they help shape and significantly influence the look of an interior and appeal to the senses. You can recognize color with your eyes, but be aware of the differences between natural and artificial light. Light can alter the shade of a fabric by several tones. A fabric also looks different on a larger surface than it does on a small swatch. By touch, we can tell if the material feels pleasant, if we’d like to sink into it, or if it will scratch us. Have you ever smelled natural leather? Even your sense of smell can influence your choice of upholstery material.
When selecting upholstered furniture for an apartment, house, or public space, it is important to consider not only aesthetic factors but also the composition of the upholstery fabric, functionality, ease of maintenance, and other practical characteristics. Before purchasing upholstered furniture, it is important to weigh all practical criteria alongside aesthetic considerations.
Leather
The processing of raw natural material—hide—results in the final product: leather.
To fully enjoy the benefits and comfort of this natural material, familiarize yourself with the characteristics of the different types of leather. Only then will this exceptional material meet your expectations. Based on our many years of experience, we offer a selection of the highest-quality leathers from trusted suppliers. We have carefully selected materials from global manufacturers to present you with a comprehensive collection of leathers across all categories. Our goal is to make the material selection process as easy as possible for our customers by providing them with the information we have gathered. We realize that choosing a material is an intuitive process that involves the senses of sight, touch, and, in the case of leather, smell. That is why we bring you the best and guarantee that all materials offered meet international requirements and standards. Based on the processing method, we divide leathers into three categories: aniline, semi-aniline, and pigmented. You can find their detailed characteristics in the link below or in the presentation brochure here.

Fabrics
The upholstery fabrics we offer are selected from high-quality international suppliers, primarily from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain. They are divided into basic price groups A through F. The materials feature various technical treatments for easy maintenance.
Fabrics labeled “Premium” are selected textiles that stand out for their texture and pattern. They meet high standards for quality, composition, maintenance, and design. They come from leading manufacturers of upholstery fabrics. They do not fall into our basic categories of upholstery materials; a surcharge per running meter applies to them. These materials are available upon request from our suppliers.
Our trained staff at our store in Hradec Králové or our business partners will be happy to advise you on the selection of upholstery materials.
