Fabric and Leather - Via Riva Drafting Chair
Via offers the fabrics and leathers below, and they will also use your fabric if you wish (call us for more details). All the fabrics listed here are in stock and ship in about a week. CLICK ANY SWATCH TO SEE IT LARGER.
Insight - Grade A
Insight is a durable 100% polyester fabric with an acrylic backing, featuring rich, stain-resistant colors. Abrasion rating is 192,000 double rubs. It can be cleaned with water-based agents, foam or pure water-free solvents.
Origin - Grade A
Origin is a durable 100% polyester woven fabric with an acrylic backing that is stain-resistant. Abrasion rating is 210,000 double rubs. It can be cleaned with water-based agents, foam or pure water-free solvents.
Cachet - Grade 1
Cachet is our most popular textile, as it mimics a soft, supple synthetic suede. Though not as luxurious or durable as true Ultrasuede (available on the Via Swopper Special Edition), it offers a nice surface at a reasonable price. Cachet is crafted of 100% polyester and features a proprietary stain-resistant finish. Abrasion rating is 33,000 double rubs, and it is dry clean only.
Hue - Grade 1
Hue is crafted of 100% recycled polyester and features a latex backing and a teflon surface finish. Hue is extremely durable- an excellent choice for 24/7, multi-user applications as its abrasion rating is one million rubs. It can be cleaned with water-based agents, foam or pure water-free solvents.
Top Grain Leather - Grade 6 and Corrected Leather Grade 5
Grade 5 corrected leather is available in black only but offers the beauty of true leather at a reduced cost. It is stiffer and may take a bit more time to soften up but should deliver the same or better durability. The grade 6 top grain leather is extremely high quality and colored with pure aniline dyes. They feature rich colors and a durable, protective finish with a very soft and supple hand. Treat as you would any fine leather.
Prolence Leather - Grade 8
Prolence leather is the top of the line. It is a premium, top grain, European hide featuring aniline dyes and a transparent topical finish that protects from some stains and reduces moisture absorption. All colors are created in the initial dying phase. No shading or stains are added to the surface, so nothing obscures the natural shadings and typical surface irregularities. This creates an extremely soft hand and rich colors. Treat as you would any fine leather.

Our Customers Say ...
I received the chairs today and they are perfect. Thank you for your personal attention to my shipping snafu. In this day and age of the internet and push button instant gratification, we sometimes forget that the real value is not in a price that is 1% better. It's in the value added by empathetic people how really try to help. Maybe you should create a company tag line like "Real humans providing great human solutions."
