Agua provides rich, textural fabric selection for Tricorn Cafe by DP Designs.

When DP Designs was appointed by the vibrant independent café & events venue, Tricorn Cafe, in Birmingham City Centre, designer Ana Crawley sought a fabric partner that understood her need for rich textural textiles, without any compromise on performance.

Here, Ana explains how Agua Fabrics delivered, with Agua Primeira Coffee featured on the booth seating. "Our client, Tricorn Cafe, wanted to turn the existing interior on its head and entirely transform the way visitors interpreted the space. In response, we created a welcoming environment, rich in textures and colours, that had the resi feel whilst being capable of meeting the technical requirements of a commercial space.

"We know Agua creates resilient, high-performance fabrics for a variety of commercial sectors. Unlike some of the competition, Agua's portfolio is also rich in fabrics that feature texture and colour, allowing us to create the ultimate space that fits both the aesthetic and the performance expectations.

"The team at Agua is helpful at keeping us up to date with their new releases and old favourites. They have a great sampling service that helps us create engaging and tactile presentations to our clients and end users.

"Agua is a great partner for commercial projects, bringing a variety of high-performance upholstery solutions to a variety of sectors. Whenever working on a project I try to incorporate Agua, if not for their performance, then for the stunning array of colours and textures that their portfolio offers. As designers, we like to share positive experiences of reliable and outstanding businesses within the supply chain, and Agua Fabrics is just that."
