What you need to know

The fabric of the purchased furniture is only available from the list of fabrics on the product card.
The fabric in the images may slightly differ from reality due to screen settings.

During the light fastness tests, the colour-fading resistance of the fabric is measured. The test is performed by placing a piece of fabric under ultraviolet lamps for a certain period of time, which imitate sunlight. The results are shown on a scale of 1 to 8. Fully non-fading fabrics are marked with 8 points, while the fastest-fading fabrics receive 1 point.
Pet-friendly fabrics are made of PetProof-certified material that is resistant to scratches caused by pet nails. Pet hair does not stick to this type of fabric, which makes it easy to clean using a hair remover or a damp cloth.
The fabric's resistance to fluff is determined by applying a Pilling test. During the test, the resistance of the fabric surface to the formation of pilling or fuzzing as a result of abrasion and friction is measured. The results are compared visually with the original fabric sample and given a rating from 1 to 5 points.
1 point means that the fabric has low resistance, while 5 points indicate high fluff resistance.
The flammability of the fabric is measured by the 'cigarette test', valid in European countries. A smouldering cigarette is placed on the tested fabric. The fabric is considered to have good flammability resistance if it takes 8–10 seconds to ignite from the start of the test (depending on the type of fabric).
The strength of the fabric, also known as abrasion resistance, is determined by the world-famous Martindale fabric abrasion test. During this test, the fabric sample is pressed with metal discs and rubbed in a circular direction at a certain speed until at least two fabric threads break. The test results are indicated by the number of cycles. The more cycles, the stronger the fabric. The fabric may be used for furniture production if the test result is more than 5,000 cycles.
