Discover Commune’s Premium Fabric and Leather Options: Crafted for Style, Durability, and Comfort
At Commune, we believe that the materials we select for our furniture are just as important as the designs themselves. From lush fabrics to luxurious leathers, each option is carefully chosen for its aesthetic, durability, and comfort. In this guide, we’ll explore our range of fabrics and leathers to help you make the best choice for your space.
Understanding Fabric Durability Ratings
Each fabric in our collection is graded on its durability, color fastness, and pilling resistance:
- Martindale Rating: This score indicates a fabric’s ability to resist wear. For instance, fabrics rated over 30,000 are commercial-grade and suitable for heavy-duty furniture, while ratings below 10,000 are best for decorative purposes.
- Pilling Resistance: This measures how well the fabric resists forming pills (little balls of fiber) on the surface. A score of 4-5 indicates excellent resistance.
- Color Fastness: This score shows how well a fabric maintains its color under light exposure, with a rating of 4-5 being optimal for retaining vibrant hues.
