Durability is often one of the most important factors when it comes to fabrics designed for the contract industry. Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for style to take a backseat.

Noticing this void in the contract market, Carnegie has released a new luxury upholstery collection that blends durability with luxury. Called Inner Strength, the high-performance collection offers textiles that exceed 50,000 to 100,000 double rubs when tested for abrasion.

The collection comes in two styles: Beam, which resembles crushed velvet in a striped pattern made using chenille yarn, and Cross Stitch, woven using a traditional cross-stitch motif in a floral pattern.

Thanks to superior dyes and structural engineering, the fabrics do not require topical finishes to make them low maintenance and easy to clean.
