Sekers introduces two versatile collections for contemporary hospitality interiors

Sekers has unveiled two new fabric collections designed for contract hospitality environments, combining refined aesthetics with technical performance and sustainable credentials. The Fifties sheer collection and Rowan upholstery fabric both reflect the brand’s continued focus on high-quality textiles suited to the evolving needs of hotels, resorts and leisure spaces.

The Fifties collection is a sophisticated range of wide-width sheers created specifically for hospitality and leisure interiors. Comprising five distinctive designs, each offered in five complementary colourways, the collection brings a refined sense of atmosphere to guestrooms, lounges and public areas.

All fabrics in the range meet global recycling standards, reinforcing Sekers’ commitment to more sustainable textile production while maintaining the flame-retardant properties required for contract applications.

Designed to drape beautifully, the sheers gently diffuse natural light, creating soft, inviting environments suited to premium hospitality settings. The designs reinterpret Sekers’ heritage through a contemporary lens, balancing delicacy with subtle structure

From quietly architectural sheers to softly shimmering textures, each fabric draws inspiration from the glamour of 1950s eveningwear, introducing understated radiance and timeless sophistication to interior schemes.

Rowan: sustainable upholstery with technical performance

Alongside Fifties, Sekers has introduced Rowan, an upholstery collection crafted from 100% recycled polyester. The fabric features a classic jacquard construction with a traditional small-scale herringbone pattern, offering a versatile aesthetic suited to both contemporary and classic hospitality interiors.

Available in a palette of 17 colours, Rowan is designed to deliver both style and durability. The fabric incorporates advanced stain-repellent technology that actively resists common hospitality stains such as food, beverage and oil-based marks, allowing for straightforward maintenance with simple sponge cleaning using water and mild soap.

Engineered for high-traffic environments, Rowan achieves a Martindale abrasion rating of 40,000 rubs and is certified for IMO, US and UK contract use.

Together, the Fifties and Rowan collections highlight Sekers’ approach to hospitality textiles: combining elegant design, responsible material choices and robust technical performance for modern hotel interiors.
