Capitalize on the Checkerboard Trend With Our Performance Fabrics
Chessie, a new performance fabric available at United Fabrics, offers designers performance and sustainability in one smashing checkerboard weave.
“Chessie” Checkerboard Performance Fabric for Upholstery
Residential, hospitality, and commercial designers who want the upper hand in creating evocative interiors now have a new gambit to play. Enter Chessie, a bold new checkerboard pattern upholstery fabric, is a collaboration of two great American textile brands. Crypton, makers of state-of-the-art performance and leading contract fabric provider United Fabrics, has launched this whimsical and timely design. So relevant is this brand new textile that Hospitality Design Magazine has already named Chessie among its editor picks in a roundup: “11 Products Take an Eco-Friendly Approach to Design.”
“Made from recycled cotton and polyester, the checkered and environmentally friendly Chessie from United Fabrics is protected by Crypton’s Nanotex technology.”
Recycled Cotton Performance Fabric, Made In The USA
Our American made fabric is manufactured in our textile mill in Cliffview, NC. Chessie checks all the boxes. It beams with color in either contrasting tones or monochrome iterations. Plus, this playful checkerboard weave has a delightfully chunky bouclé texture. Chessie doesn’t hint at nostalgia. It practically tugs at the heartstrings with its craft-forward style of weaving. While the fabric’s aesthetic looks back at a simpler time, the construction looks forward, with an eco-conscious combination of recycled cotton (repurposed from garment industry leftovers) and recycled polyester.
Protected with Crypton Nanotex stain resistance and bearing a Greenguard® Gold certification and a 5-year warranty, Chessie is crafted to endure and even lengthen the useful life of furniture. These features also add to its sustainability profile. To view the whole collection and order samples, go to United Fabrics.
