Tapestry
Tapestry fabric is a thick, durable textile that has a pattern woven directly into the material. It often includes detailed imagery and complex repeats. Tapestry fabric performs beautifully on statement furniture and everyday pieces— whether refreshing a vintage chair in your home or adding character to a hospitality or commercial interior.
Why Choose Tapestry?
Woven-in Patterns (Not Surface Printed)
Because the design is woven into the fabric rather than printed on, the pattern will not fade, crack, or wear unevenly with use. The visual remains sharp and ages consistently, even on high-contact areas like seat backs and cushions.
High Structural Density
Tapestry fabric has a compact construction because it uses many interlaced weft yarns. As a result, it is a naturally dense cloth, withstanding abrasion and friction better than lighter decorative weaves. The density also reduces snagging and stretching over time.
Crush-Resistance
The thickness and layered yarn structure help the fabric bounce back after it is sat on. Instead of flattening permanently, tapestry fibers—especially in blended or wool-containing constructions—maintain body and resist crushing, keeping upholstered surfaces looking fuller.
Natural Surface Dimension
Because multiple colors and yarns are woven simultaneously, the surface develops slight highs and lows in the design. This built-in dimension hides everyday wear, subtle marks, and minor impressions better than flat fabrics. It gives furniture visual depth without needing embellishment or heavy texture finishes.
