Concept to Collection

This course covers the process of designing a contract upholstery collection, starting from a pattern concept and progressing through fiber selection, production sourcing, finishing, color selection, and marketing. We review various fibers and finishing options, their impact on product performance, compliance with industry codes, and suitable applications. This course also explores common finishing brands and their transformative effects on products. By the end, participants will gain a thorough understanding of commercial textile development and how to use finishing to optimize product performance. Join us on the journey from initial concept all the way through to market launch!
