Classics Satin Upholstery Fabric – CAT. C

Classics satin blends polyester and viscose to create a lustrous upholstery surface, bringing a dressier finish to traditional sofas, chairs and headboards.

Classics offers a satin finish made from 53% polyester and 47% viscose. Its sheen introduces a decorative quality through reflected light, giving a different effect from matt woven upholstery in the same colour.

Surface, colour and suitability

View a sample under the lighting where the furniture will stand. Satin can appear different across a broad panel and a rounded upholstered edge, so the colour should be assessed with the shape of the intended piece in mind.

The covering’s visual finish is separate from the seat padding and the way the cover is constructed. Confirm whether the selected model uses fixed or removable upholstery before planning how the material will be maintained.

Satin sheen is a surface characteristic rather than evidence of one specific seat feel. A Classics-covered cushion can use different underlying padding from a headboard in the same fabric. Compare the textile separately from those furniture components, and use category C as the VAMA upholstery price reference rather than a durability classification.

Samples and care

Ask VAMA about Classics colour references and compatibility with your furniture. Follow the supplied care symbols for the satin article and finished cover rather than assuming a method from the fibre blend alone.
