Upholstery, a historic sector at Sofila
The upholstery sector is very broad and very rich in terms of achievements. SOFILA has been present in this sector for a very long time and supports the various creative or technical challenges.
Historically, the yarns for upholstery fabrics were mainly “fancy yarns”, which SOFILA has always produced, and often created. These yarns include well-known examples such as slub yarns, button yarns, crisp yarns or even more simply textured yarns (Taslan). All can be made from different materials depending on the desired effect or the fineness of the fabric: polyesters, polyamides, polypropylene, cotton, silk, viscose, biosourced Greenfil® thread, etc.
Innovative yarns for upholstery, combining creativity and technical performance
Yarns suitable for upholstery, from luxury to mass market
By carefully selecting the material and the effect, SOFILA’s yarns can be aimed at manufacturers of luxury or high-end upholstery fabrics, or at manufacturers more oriented towards the mass market who are looking for a touch of originality without switching to overly expensive yarns.
Highly technical yarns to meet the demands of the upholstery industry
But the upholstery sector is also at the center of technical challenges, which SOFILA supports with expertise: fire-resistant yarns for public buildings or for blinds in homes or transportation, yarns with high abrasion resistance for seat fabrics
