If we think about resistance we must take into account the “C𝗶𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗲”. From 25,000 𝘤𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴 a fabric is already considered resistant. If we know in advance that this fabric is going to suffer it should not go below 40,000 𝘤𝘪𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴.
Sofas upholstered in 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝗹 are the most expensive, it’s true but…. Did you know that the skin can last more than 20 years? The economical alternative is leatherette… An option that does not have the same durability and also tends to be very hot.
