Pearl: A Wool-Inspired Upholstery Fabric with Softness and Contract Strength

At Agua Fabrics, we know that commercial environments can benefit from the calm, crafted feel of traditional textiles—without compromising on performance. The Pearl collection brings the look and feel of high-quality wool upholstery into the contract market, offering a beautifully soft yet technically advanced commercial fabric.

Crafted using an intricate marl yarn construction, Pearl delivers texture, tone, and comfort—all while meeting the demands of modern interior spaces.

The Look of Wool, Made for Contract Use

Pearl’s unique marl yarn weave creates a multi-tonal surface that closely resembles woollen upholstery, giving it a warm, natural aesthetic. But unlike natural fibres, this fabric is fully waterproof, stain-resistant, and built to last in high-use settings.

Key features include:

  • Waterproof – Hydrostatic Head >1 metre
  • Crib 5 Fire Retardant – certified for commercial and marine environments
  • Anti-microbial and anti-fungal – effective against MRSA, E. coli, and other bacteria
  • Stain-resistant – excellent performance against grease, ink, blood, and more
  • Martindale abrasion rating >50,000 rubs – suited for severe contract use
  • Moisture vapour permeable – breathable for comfort in extended seating applications
  • Bleach cleanable and REACH compliant – ensuring safe and easy maintenance

This combination of features makes Pearl a reliable choice for a wide range of upholstery fabric applications across healthcare, leisure, hospitality, cruise, and senior living environments.

Soft, Marl-Textured Finish for Welcoming Interiors

Pearl has a tactile, visually rich finish that adds subtle texture and warmth to furniture, helping designers create environments that feel relaxed, thoughtful, and refined. Its soft touch and woven appearance support more residential-style design, especially in sectors where comfort is key.

Common applications include:

  • Lounge seating and armchairs
  • Soft panelled headboards
  • Care home and senior living furniture
  • Spa and hotel guest areas
  • Marine and cruise interiors

Whether used to bring calm to a clinical setting or character to a corporate one, Pearl offers a homely, design-led alternative to traditional contract textiles.

A Rich, Melange-Inspired Palette

Pearl is available in a curated selection of 24 sophisticated colourways, featuring both muted and saturated tones inspired by nature, wool dyes, and classic upholstery palettes. Highlights include:

  • Natural shades like Ash, Pebble, Grey, and Flint
  • Warm tones such as Cinnamon, Russet, and Blush
  • Bold options like Ink, Forest, Chilli, and Maritime

This versatility allows Pearl to work across tonal interior schemes, or to add a soft accent within more vibrant colour stories.

Performance Across Diverse Commercial Environments

With its combination of durability, softness, and easy care, Pearl is well suited to:

  • Hospitality and hotel interiors – offering a welcoming feel with full commercial resilience
  • Senior living and healthcare settings – delivering texture and comfort while supporting hygiene requirements
  • Leisure and spa environments – providing tactile depth in relaxed, sensory spaces
  • Cruise and marine interiors – offering a soft, breathable surface with moisture protection

Wherever it’s specified, Pearl helps create interiors that are calm, cohesive, and designed to last.
