Furnishing Textiles
Seat Upholstery, Windows, Beds & Bath
If Shakespeare’s adage “clothes maketh the man” is true, how much more “furnishings maketh the room” is!
For eons, humans have endeavoured to leave their mark on their residences. Cave man at the very basic level literally left their handprint on the walls of their rudimentary dwellings places. Throughout the ages we have become much more sophisticated, using printed and textured furnishings in the form of textiles and wallpapers to individualise places we dwell.
Furnishings have the ability to transform the most austere space into a place of beauty, reflecting the very personality of the Designer.
Form & Function
Materialised have over four decades experience of providing furnishing fabrics to facilities like hotels, hospitals, nursing homes, theatres and auditoria. Here, aesthetics and functionality need to be carefully combined.
Flame Retardancy, spill resistance (incontinence), high abrasion resistance, stability, crease resistance, cleanability, acoustic absorption etc., are essential. Yet so are beautiful and comfortable surroundings.
Materialised has developed solutions that address the two seemingly conflicting demands to bring beautiful, infinitely broad choices of colour and design, whilst never compromising the ever-important function.
Some say Materialised has been responsible for marrying form with function in the Australasian furnishing industry. (Less polite people say we have been able to put lipstick on the pig.) However you describe it, virtually all of our textile products possess the necessary performance and certification to satisfy the most exacting building code.
