Contemporary architecture and interior design are no longer constrained by four walls. Today’s modern sanctuaries prioritise fluid transitions, where sunlit living rooms flow seamlessly onto open-air terraces, daybeds, and poolside retreats. But achieving this effortless indoor/outdoor synergy requires materials that bridge high-end aesthetics with rugged, real-world performance.
Our BLISS collection is a European-designed performance textile range crafted by renowned Spanish mill Citel (pioneers in technical fabrics since 1875). Engineered specifically to handle intense UV exposure, weather elements, and daily life, BLISS combines artisanal tactile qualities with state-of-the-art performance.
Here is how the 100% Solution Dyed Acrylic BLISS range can transform your next residential or commercial project.

Why Specify BLISS? The Technical Difference
In technical performance fabrics, true longevity comes down to how the fibre is dyed and finished:
- 100% Solution-Dyed Acrylic Yarn: Unlike piece-dyed fabrics where colour sits only on the outer layer, solution dyeing infuses pigments directly into the liquid polymer before fibres are spun. The result is colour that goes all the way through the fibre, providing unparalleled UV resistance against fading.
- PFAS-Free Technology: Modern luxury design demands environmental responsibility. BLISS upholstery ranges feature fluorine-free finishes that provide stain resistance and water repellency without relying on persistent chemicals.
- European Craftsmanship: Made in Spain by Citel, BLISS combines European textile design with the durability needed to thrive under harsh climatic conditions.
- 5-Year Warranty: A 5-year performance warranty for long-term peace of mind in residential and commercial installations.
