Application brief
Begin with the surface: seating upholstery, vertical panel, drapery, sheer or wallcovering. Add the substrate, traffic pattern, cleaning regime, installation constraints and visual intent. A healthcare waiting room and a workplace collaboration area may both use upholstery, yet disinfectant exposure, seam design and change-out planning can lead to different questions. The brief narrows the review without implying that every material is suitable for either setting.
