For designers working across the hospitality industry, finding durable, fade-resistant textiles that add aesthetic interest is often a challenge. In commercial projects with significant foot traffic, fabrics, especially furniture upholstery, are put to the test daily. 

That' s where Sunbrella Contract comes in, utilizing decades of performance fabric expertise to create products designed to meet the needs of bustling interiors. Understanding the creative desires of designers while using materials backed by scientific innovations, Sunbrella Contract' s range of performance fabrics—including collaborations with notable designers and manufacturers—is poised to withstand demanding environments from restaurants and retail spaces to hospitals and hotels.

And with the uptake in demand for open-air gatherings, Sunbrella Contract' s textiles provide peace of mind for designers given that they are UV- and fade-resistant. 

"Textiles for upholstery and shade are required to stand up to rigorous cleaning programs, meet high performance standards, and never compromise the designer’s vision when it comes to aesthetic," Minervini shares.  The brand' s proprietary technology used to create its unique fibers and yarns also ensures that each textile is mold- and mildew- resistant. Without compromising comfort and durability, Sunbrella Contract' s collections are tough enough to withstand the elements outdoors and luxurious enough to elevate any interior.
