Rizada

At Agua Fabrics, we’re always looking to push the boundaries of comfort and performance—and the Rizada collection is a perfect example of that balance. Designed as a richly textured chenille velvet, Rizada delivers exceptional softness alongside the technical capabilities required for demanding commercial environments.

With its deep, napped surface and luxurious handle, Rizada brings a refined, elegant feel to interiors, while remaining a fully specified contract fabric suitable for both upholstery and curtains.

High-Performance Velvet for Demanding Interiors

Rizada combines the softness of a velvet with the resilience expected from high-performance commercial fabrics. Developed for use across hospitality, cruise, leisure, and senior living environments, it offers both comfort and confidence in high-use settings.

Key performance features include:

• Crib 5 Fire Retardant (Medium Hazard) – suitable for commercial upholstery 
• BS5867 Part 2 Type B – compliant for curtain applications 
• Waterproof – hydrostatic head >1 metre for added protection 
• Stain-resistant – effective removal of common spills and contaminants 
• Anti-microbial and anti-fungal protection – powered by AguaGuard365 
• Martindale abrasion rating >60,000 rubs – ensuring durability in busy environments 
• Breathable construction – moisture vapour permeable for enhanced comfort 

This combination makes Rizada a versatile solution where both aesthetics and performance are essential.

A Luxurious Chenille Velvet Finish

The defining characteristic of Rizada is its chenille velvet construction, which creates a dense, soft pile with a beautifully tactile surface. The carefully developed nap enhances both the visual richness and the comfort of the fabric, making it particularly inviting for seating and soft furnishings.

Its texture:

• Adds depth and elegance to upholstered pieces 
• Creates a warm, comfortable seating experience 
• Enhances light interaction, giving surfaces a subtle sheen and movement 

Rizada has been designed to feel as good as it looks—bringing a sense of luxury to commercial interiors without compromising on practicality.

Designed for Upholstery and Curtains

Unlike many velvet-style fabrics, Rizada is engineered for dual application, making it suitable for both upholstery and curtain use. This allows designers to create cohesive interior schemes using the same fabric across multiple surfaces.

Ideal uses include:

• Upholstered seating and feature furniture 
• Curtains and soft window treatments 
• Headboards and wall panels 
• Lounge and reception areas 

This flexibility makes Rizada particularly valuable in hospitality and cruise projects, where consistency of finish is key.

20 Sophisticated Colourways

Rizada is available in a refined palette of 20 colourways, carefully selected to support elegant and contemporary interiors.

The range includes:

• Warm rusts and terracottas for depth and richness 
• Soft neutrals for calm, understated schemes 
• Deep jewel tones for bold, statement finishes 

This considered palette allows designers to create both subtle and dramatic interiors, while maintaining a consistent material language throughout a space.

Ideal Applications for Rizada

Rizada is particularly well suited to:

• Hospitality interiors – hotels, lounges, and boutique spaces 
• Cruise and marine environments – where durability meets luxury 
• Leisure spaces – including bars, restaurants, and entertainment venues 
• Senior living environments – offering comfort, hygiene, and resilience 

Its combination of softness, durability, and technical performance makes it a standout option for projects where both comfort and longevity are priorities.

Performance Meets Elegance

Rizada demonstrates how contract upholstery fabrics can deliver both high performance and a truly luxurious finish. By combining chenille velvet texture with advanced protective features, it offers a solution that enhances interiors both visually and functionally.

Manufactured to meet REACH compliance standards, Rizada supports safe and responsible material specification across commercial environments.
