🎧 Welcome back to another episode of "The Interior Design Podcast"!

Today, we're thrilled to have James Lewis from Sunbury Design join us for an educational session all about Upholstery Fabrics. Get ready for an enlightening conversation packed with valuable insights!

In this episode, we'll be diving into topics like Fire Retardancy, BS5852 + Crib 5, Martindale and Wyzenbeek Rub Tests, Stain Resistance technologies such as Aquaclean, Teflon, and Scotchguard, as well as exploring the world of Recycled Fabrics and sustainability initiatives like Repreve and Perfluorocarbons (PFCs).

We'll also be discussing the latest Fabric Trends, including the rise of Recycled Boucle, with Cheryl leading the charge as a trendsetter! And don't be surprised if we take a few unexpected detours into topics like coffee chains, cash, hounds-tooth patterns, and even the future of transportation with driverless cars and flying!
