Supreen: A revolutionary performance upholstery.

Supreen is "a revolutionary new performance fabric that tackles the spills and stains of everyday life", without compromising high-end design, sustainability, or materiality.

A fusion of "beauty and brawn", Supreen brings cutting-edge woven and coated technology to create a unique liquid-barrier textile with a soft hand that offers impressive upholstery options.

Named after a combination of the words “supple” and “preen,” preserving comfort and beauty is key to Supreen’s ethos. With a supple, surprisingly soft hand, “preen” references the preening of an aquatic bird, keeping its plumage waterproof and tidy.

Made by Nassimi, a market innovator in premium faux leather, Supreen follows suit in its technical prowess and inventive nature. Breaking new ground, the composite material is constructed of a proprietary silicone blend that is virtually impermeable to any liquid, reactively repelling liquids and preventing future stains. No matter the length of time from the original spill, Supreen resists liquid permeability, ensuring that stains do not soak through the fabric or compromise the furniture.

It's a "testament to texture and breathability" that allows Supreen a greater range of upholstery possibilities, where, it says, stiffer, more traditional performance fabrics may waver.

“Supreen is a pioneer of performance materials,” states Iwan Nassimi, executive vice president of Nassimi. “Designed to provide the utmost performance, Supreen exceeds industry standards and expectations. With an impermeable liquid barrier, stain resistance, bleach cleanability and impressive breathability, we are thrilled to introduce Supreen and look forward to seeing how designers and manufacturers leverage its innovation in contract environments and beyond.”

Thoughtfully crafted, Supreen utilises a multi-step production method. After the polyester fabric is woven to the highest performance specifications and dyed to the desired hue, it is then purified in a proprietary, patented process that ionically removes over 99% of all contaminants.

The fabric is then immersed into a novel silicone solution that permanently embeds a thin layer into the fibres without altering appearance or texture, thanks to the patented purification process. Lastly, a performance polyurethane backing is thermo-bonded to the fabric, sans adhesives or solvents, creating a new, composite material, and completing the process.

True to Nassimi’s signature of proactive and future-thinking design solutions, Supreen is both environmentally friendly and bleach cleanable. Free of fluorocarbons, it prioritises environmental and personal health, as its silicone composition is PFC- and PFOA-free. It is also HHI and Prop 65 compliant. The launch collection includes three new textile offerings boasting performance capabilities and a rich, sweeping colour palette of deep jewel tones and classic neutrals.
