Omega

Omega is a strong and functional spacer fabric with a characteristic open and three dimensional, mesh structure. The fabric consists of a black base, and an interconnecting layer topped with a coloured, knitted grid. With its multi-layered construction Omega offers a valuable set of properties including optimal breathability, for moisture and heat regulation. Omega is ideal not only as a self-supporting fabric for chairs, sofas, and for panels but also for upholstery. Stretch the boundaries of your furniture design and develop new and unconventional solutions by using Omega as a classic upholstery fabric.
