Sark

When durability and sophistication need to work in tandem, Sark offers a standout solution. This contract-grade upholstery fabric features a refined twill weave and velvet-soft handle—bringing depth, warmth, and robust performance to commercial interiors across hospitality, leisure, marine, and healthcare sectors.

Blending subtle texture with modern practicality, Sark is a high-performing fabric that feels as good as it looks.

Elevated Texture, Everyday Performance

Sark’s strength lies in its tactile contrast. The twill weave structure gives visual dimension and light movement across the surface, while the finish delivers a velvety softness typically associated with residential design. Combined, this makes it a smart and stylish option for commercial furniture, without sacrificing the technical demands of contract environments.

Sark is engineered for performance:

• Waterproof – protects against spills and ingress
• Crib 5 flame retardant – meets UK and international contract standards
• AguaGuard365 antimicrobial protection – certified against viruses and bacteria including MRSA, Covid-19, and E. coli

• Severe Contract abrasion rating – >100,000 Martindale rubs
• Breathable and moisture vapour permeable
• Bleach cleanable and phthalate-free
• REACH compliant for peace of mind

These features make Sark ideal for commercial and contract settings that prioritise hygiene, safety, and longevity—without compromising on feel or finish.
