Warp, Weft, and the Web Around Them

What Are Contract Fabrics?
If you’ve ever specified seating for a restaurant, hotel, house of worship, or waiting room, you’ve probably run into the term “contract fabrics.” It shows up on spec sheets, in designer conversations, and on nearly every commercial upholstery order — but it’s rarely explained in plain language. This guide breaks down exactly what contract fabrics are, how they’re different from the fabric on your living room sofa, and what to look for when you’re sourcing them for a project.
The history of manufacturing fabric
The history of manufacturing fabric—or textiles—spans tens of thousands of years, evolving from simple handcrafts using natural fibers to today’s highly automated, global industry blending natural, synthetic, and smart materials.
World of Color and Pattern
When it comes to contract and upholstery fabrics, color is everything — and few mills deliver it quite like Tahoe.
