Clerkenwell Design Week 2026. CREVIN Shapes Upholstery Through Colour, Texture and Responsible Manufacturing

Barcelona-based CREVIN arrives at Clerkenwell Design Week 2026 with a clear proposition: upholstery textiles engineered for longevity, defined by material integrity and controlled production. Since 1976, the company has developed fabrics that sit comfortably across residential, contract and outdoor settings, balancing technical performance with a distinctly Mediterranean sensibility.

What sets Crevin apart is its fully integrated, local manufacturing model. Design, development and production are consolidated within a single ecosystem, allowing precise control over quality, lead times and environmental impact. This vertical structure is not a branding claim; it directly informs how fibres are selected, how colour is constructed, and how durability is tested.

Sustainability is embedded at process level. Crevin’s roadmap towards zero waste is structured around measurable targets: reduced water consumption, lower CO₂ emissions and minimised material waste. Certifications, including Zero Waste, Eco Design and Made in Green, reinforce a system where environmental responsibility is quantifiable, not rhetorical. At Clerkenwell, this translates into textiles that meet the technical demands of specification while responding to increasingly strict sustainability criteria across UK and European projects.

ICONA Upholstery Fabric (Indoor)

A reference point rather than a nostalgia exercise, ICONA draws from the structure of classic tweed and reworks it through a contemporary textile lens. The fabric combines a bouclé surface with jacquard construction, resulting in a tactile density that has an immediate visual impact in both hospitality and residential schemes.

Colour is where ICONA operates with precision. Each composition is built on four tones: two brighter notes that introduce light and movement, and two tonal shades that stabilise the base. This layered approach creates depth without visual noise, allowing the fabric to hold its own on large surfaces such as sofas, headboards or modular seating.

In specification terms, ICONA functions both as a focal material and a coordinator. Its palette is designed to sit alongside Crevin’s plains, enabling controlled combinations across a project. The outcome is a balanced scheme—textured, but disciplined—where contrast is intentional rather than decorative.

PÍCAR Upholstery Fabric (Indoor)

What happens when upholstery fabric becomes a vehicle for colour experimentation? PÍCAR answers with a deliberately unconventional approach. The surface is soft and inviting, but the real proposition lies in its chromatic behaviour.

PÍCAR avoids predictable pairings. Soft sky tones are interrupted by sharp lime accents; pearl bases shift towards turquoise and orange; denim blues meet earthy mud tones; browns are lifted with ochre and flashes of turquoise; neutral grounds take on unexpected golden warmth. Each combination is constructed to disrupt expectations without losing coherence.

This makes PÍCAR particularly relevant for projects seeking identity—boutique hospitality, co-working environments, or residential interiors where individuality is a brief requirement. It is not a background fabric. It performs as a visual catalyst, introducing rhythm and contrast while maintaining the durability required for high-use settings.

CORDA Upholstery Fabric (Outdoor)

Built for outdoor performance, CORDA translates maritime references into a structured textile language. Its woven surface recalls the tension and rhythm of ropework, with a clear focus on durability and specification-led design rather than interpretation or nostalgia.

Engineered for exterior environments, CORDA combines technical resistance with a visually active surface. It is designed to withstand exposure while maintaining clarity of colour and structure across large-scale applications such as hospitality terraces, shaded lounges and transitional indoor–outdoor spaces.

The palette works through contrast and temperature. Soft yellows meet faded rose tones, greens interact with warm terracotta, and deep reds are set against strong blues. These combinations are not decorative; they are calibrated to generate visual energy in open-air contexts where light constantly shifts the perception of colour.

SAULÓ Upholstery Fabric (Outdoor)

SAULÓ starts from the ground up—literally. Inspired by mineral soil and sun-baked landscapes, this outdoor fabric translates earthy references into a textured surface with a subtle multicolour bouclé effect.

The construction brings depth without heaviness. Each yarn contributes to a layered, granular appearance, making SAULÓ particularly effective on larger upholstered elements where texture needs to hold at scale. It is durable, but more importantly, it is sensorial—inviting touch while maintaining outdoor performance.

Its palette builds on natural tones but introduces sharper accents. Lime green intersects with turquoise; dense greens meet warm orange; earth shades are lifted with sky blue. The result is a fabric that connects directly to its environment while adding energy—controlled, but unmistakably present.

Crevin offers a tightly resolved proposition: upholstery textiles where colour development, material performance and environmental accountability are engineered within the same system. For specifiers working under increasing pressure to deliver both design impact and measurable sustainability, the brand provides a credible, production-led answer. At Clerkenwell, the value lies in seeing how that system translates into fabric—direct, tactile and ready for application. Not to be missed at Clerkenwell Design Week!
