Cord

Agua Fabrics’ Cord collection reimagines classic corduroy for modern contract environments—offering soft texture, bold character, and all the durability you’d expect from a high-performance fabric. With its ribbed surface and plush feel, Cord brings warmth, rhythm, and design interest to hospitality, cruise, leisure, and senior living interiors.

This is a tactile, woven collection that pairs a nostalgic aesthetic with the cutting-edge technical performance demanded by today’s commercial sectors.

Rich Texture Meets Real-World Resilience

Cord’s signature vertical rib adds visual structure and softness, elevating upholstery with depth and dimension. While it delivers on style, it’s also engineered for use in demanding settings—from boutique hotels and lounges to care environments and high-traffic public areas.

Performance highlights include:

• Waterproof – offering protection against spills and moisture
• Crib 5 Fire Retardant – compliant with safety standards for commercial spaces
• Stain-resistant – supporting easy cleaning and long-term maintenance
• Anti-microbial and anti-fungal – enhancing hygiene across shared spaces
• Martindale > 60,000 rubs – built for long-lasting use and comfort

Cord is designed to be practical without compromising on style.

A Modern Revival of a Design Classic

Inspired by vintage corduroy, this collection delivers a contemporary take on a familiar favourite. The ribbed weave adds softness, structure, and a sense of movement—making it suitable for everything from statement armchairs to refined wall panels.

Cord is particularly suited to:

• Lounge chairs and banquette seating
• Headboards and soft furnishings
• Feature walls and acoustic panelling
• Reception areas and hospitality zones

Whether you’re aiming for a retro-modern aesthetic or subtle texture in a clean-lined scheme, Cord offers the flexibility to elevate your design.

A Thoughtful Palette of 18 Colourways

With 18 curated shades—ranging from rich jewel tones and soft neutrals to calming pastels—Cord allows you to work across tonal, complementary, or bold contrasting palettes. These colours are carefully chosen to pair beautifully with other Agua collections, wood surfaces, or metal fixtures.

• Hospitality – hotels, restaurants, and boutique spaces
