Aries: A Sophisticated Faux Leather for Demanding Environments

At Agua Fabrics, we understand that high-performance upholstery fabrics must meet more than just technical standards—they must also support great design. Our Aries collection is built around this philosophy, offering the reassuring durability of a contract faux leather with a refined, soft-matte finish that lends a quiet sophistication to any interior.

Designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of sectors, Aries combines practical resilience with a calm, contemporary aesthetic—making it a trusted choice for designers, specifiers, and project managers alike.

Performance You Can Rely On

Aries is engineered to provide a dependable solution in environments where furniture must perform day after day, year after year. With technical credentials that meet the strictest commercial standards, Aries offers peace of mind without compromising on style.

Key features include:

  • Waterproof – protecting against spills and moisture
  • Crib 5 Fire Retardant – meeting UK fire safety regulations for commercial interiors
  • Stain-resistant – allowing for easy cleaning and maintenance
  • Anti-microbial and anti-fungal protection – supporting healthier, hygienic environments
  • Martindale abrasion rating >100,000 rubs – ensuring the fabric withstands intensive use

From hospitality and workplace settings to healthcare and cruise projects, Aries is a versatile option for interiors that demand more from their materials.

A Soft Matte Finish for Modern Interiors

While Aries is built to perform, it is also designed with aesthetics in mind. The collection’s soft-matte surface creates a clean, elegant look that works beautifully across a wide variety of styles—from minimal contemporary spaces to warmer, more traditional environments.

The subtle texture gives Aries a tactile appeal without unnecessary gloss or sheen, making it an ideal choice for designers looking for a quiet, refined finish that enhances rather than dominates a space.

A Versatile Palette for Creative Freedom

Aries offers a selection of 25 considered colourways, ranging from classic neutrals to deeper, richer tones. The palette is designed to offer maximum versatility, supporting everything from calming, tonal interiors to bold, high-contrast design schemes.

Whether you're specifying seating for a boutique hotel, upgrading a workspace, or outfitting a care facility, Aries provides the colour choice and consistency needed to realise your vision with confidence.

Ideal Applications for Aries

Thanks to its balanced combination of performance and style, Aries is suited to a wide range of applications, including:

  • Hotel and hospitality furniture: Providing stylish, durable seating and headboards that endure heavy guest use.
  • Corporate environments: Offering a professional, sophisticated finish for workplace seating, breakout spaces, and reception areas.
  • Healthcare settings: Supporting hygiene and comfort requirements while maintaining a welcoming feel.
  • Cruise and marine projects: Meeting strict technical requirements while offering design flexibility for cabins, lounges, and public areas.
  • Leisure venues: Enhancing the look and durability of furniture in bars, restaurants, cinemas, and beyond.

Wherever it is specified, Aries brings together practical performance and timeless design.
