Skopos has released its new textured upholstery collection, Esme, which has been developed for the rigours of the contract world…

Skopos, a leading innovator in contract textiles, proudly introduces Esme – a refined new upholstery collection that artfully combines the soft sophistication of bouclĂ© with the visual intrigue of a multi-tonal chenille check. This clever blend of texture and tone offers designers a versatile and high-performance fabric option for a wide range of commercial interiors.
Designed with practicality in mind, Esme is inherently flame-retardant and finished with a stain- and soil-resistant treatment, making it a robust choice for high-traffic environments. The fabric is constructed from a durable mix of polyester and cotton, offering a balance of comfort and resilience that meets the demands of hospitality and contract settings.

Twisted fancy yarns enrich the chenille structure, lending the fabric a subtle elegance and tactile depth. The understated texture and tonal simplicity provide a timeless appeal, ideal for coordinating with a variety of interior schemes and colour palettes.
Esme is particularly well-suited to hotel bedrooms, bar and lounge areas, and other contract spaces where style must meet function. With a palette of 20 carefully curated SKUs, each backed with halogen-free Crib 5 FR, the collection delivers both aesthetic range and technical assurance.
Built for durability, Esme withstands up to 80,000 Martindale rubs, ensuring it maintains its striking appearance even in the most demanding environments. This makes it an excellent choice for furniture manufacturers, interior designers, and end users seeking long-lasting style and performance.

The collection pairs seamlessly with Skoposâ recently launched STUDIO print range and complements the Skopos velvet offer, creating layered looks that exude modern luxury.
As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, Skopos has recently been re-awarded Carbon Neutral status – underscoring the brandâs dedication to delivering eco-conscious solutions for the contract interiors market.
With more than 50 years of textile innovation, Skopos continues to lead the way in design, performance, and compliance, offering flame-retardant fabrics that balance form and function for todayâs most ambitious interiors.
