Fabric sample Rolf Atlantic Graphite (ROLF 17)

Durable upholstery options include dense woven fabrics as well as velours and chenilles made from synthetic fibres. Their abrasion resistance can reach 50,000-100,000 Martindale cycles or more. A compact material structure helps reduce wear and snagging.

Velour, velvet, woven fabric and chenille are all good choices for a sofa. Velour and velvet are soft and elegant, and water-repellent or Easy Clean versions make removing stains easier. Woven fabrics cope well with everyday use, while Pet Friendly fabrics work well in homes with pets.

The best upholstery fabrics include velour, velvet, Alcantara, woven fabrics and chenille. Velour and velvet are soft and elegant, Alcantara stands out for its durability and easy cleaning, and woven fabrics and chenilles cope well with everyday use. It is also worth looking out for water-repellent coatings and a dense weave, which make the material more practical.

The most commonly used upholstery materials are woven fabrics, velours, chenilles, microfibre, jacquard and faux leather. Each offers different properties in terms of durability, texture and ease of cleaning. The choice of upholstery should therefore depend on the purpose of the furniture and how intensively it will be used.

Current trends favour materials with an interesting, tactile texture, such as bouclé, chenille, corduroy and woven fabrics. Soft velours are still popular, and recycled fabrics are attracting growing interest. Easy-clean upholstery, which makes everyday furniture care easier, is also valued.

The Martindale test determines a material’s resistance to abrasion during use. The higher the number of cycles, the more durable the fabric. Values of 40,000-50,000 cycles mean high durability, and results above 100,000 cycles very high resistance.

100% PES means that the material is made entirely of polyester. Polyester fabrics are durable, crease-resistant and dry quickly, but may be less breathable and tend to build up static.

A good weight for upholstery fabric is usually in the range of 200-500 g/m². Medium-weight materials work well on sofas, armchairs and chairs, offering sufficient flexibility and fit to the shape of the furniture. A higher weight usually means a thicker, more substantial structure suited to heavily used furniture.

Velour, chenille, microfibre and sturdy woven fabrics are well suited to upholstering a corner sofa. A water-repellent finish makes removing dirt easier, while a dense weave increases the durability of the upholstery. In a home with pets, opt for tightly woven, snag-resistant materials.

When buying a corner sofa, pay attention to its dimensions, layout, type of filling and how it will be used. Choosing a durable fabric is also important, ideally abrasion-resistant and easy to clean. With children or pets, tightly woven, stain-resistant materials that are less prone to snagging work well.

Bouclé is a soft fabric with a characteristic irregular surface of small loops. It is popular for upholstering armchairs, chairs and decorative accessories. Because of its texture, it requires appropriate care on frequently used sofas.

Bouclé stands out for its irregular, three-dimensional surface with characteristic loops. The material is fluffy, soft and has a pleasant texture. It is most often chosen in natural, muted colours such as white, cream, beige or grey.

Rolf Atlantycki Grafit is a dark, cool shade with a graphite character. The textured bouclé surface adds depth to the colour, so the shade may look slightly different depending on the light and surroundings.

Rolf has a distinct bouclé texture with characteristic loops and irregularities. The surface is three-dimensional and more decorative than that of smooth fabrics, giving the upholstery a soft, textured look.

100% PES means that the material is made exclusively of polyester fibres. Polyester holds its shape well, does not stretch easily and is easy to care for, which is why it is often used in fabrics for upholstering furniture.

Rolf achieves at least 30,000 cycles in the abrasion test. This means the material copes well with the repeated contact and rubbing that occur during everyday use of the furniture.

Rolf scored 5 in the pilling test. This is a very good result, indicating a low tendency for the material to form bobbles and pilling on its surface.

Yes. Colour fastness to rubbing is 4-5 both dry and wet. This means the colour stays durable during typical use of the upholstery.

Light fastness was rated 7, which is very high. This means highly durable colour, although the Atlantycki Grafit shade itself may still look different in daylight and artificial light.

Rolf weighs 560 g/m² with a tolerance of ±5%, meaning one square metre of the material weighs about 560 grams. This is a high value, characteristic of fuller, more substantial upholstery fabrics. In Rolf it complements the dense, three-dimensional bouclé texture and gives the material a more compact character.

The Rolf fabric is best cleaned gently, without hard rubbing or excessive soaking. For routine care, a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth can be used, avoiding harsh detergents that could damage the bouclé texture.

The Rolf fabric is available in, among others, the Tedi armchair. It is a wide model with a deep seat, an ergonomic backrest and wooden legs, designed for everyday relaxation in the living room or a chill-out area.
