LRF might know the material.Just a thought, orange is very IN now...it might seem OUT in a few years did you like orange say 5 years ago?Wool in general wears for a very long time.The tighter the weave,heavier the material, the less light you can see through it, all general signs of holding up well.

I used kvadrat TONUS a few years back on an Eames sofa. It is a very high quality fabric.

I like orange. But I can't make that decision for you - especially without photos of your interior. Post some photos of the room they will live in. You'll get a better response.

i have a lot of that in stock and redo a lot of great pieces with it cause that is what the customer wants ... but for the love of good money , I swear i don't know why. It is very expensive fabric , It looks just like felt from Hancock fabric and that is not saying a whole lot , rather boring, now divina and melange have a little something extra to them , almost a heather in nature but there are 10 zillion fabrics, why these I have no idea, I have wanted to try several of these fabrics on some of the chairs in the house just cause we use it so much but the wife , the designer in the family just won't let me, she says it just looks like wool felt on a chair.
as Paul Harvey from America says and that is the End of the story!!!!!

I suppose thats why I like it, nice and plain. I don't think its too expensive either, not for the quality you get. I think if you've got a dynamic chair the last thing you want to do is gild the lilly.
seems its called divina 3 now, its like software and comnputers...does anything just stand still anymore?
