Damaged and cigarette-burned chairs take time to pull, repair, and replace.

At Hard Rock Sacramento, about 75% of the gaming floor has now been switched to No-Burn Upholstery™. Will Provance, Senior Vice President of Operations, says the change has improved team efficiency and reduced the time spent continuously changing out damaged chairs.

“The labor savings alone are well worth it.”

That’s the kind of performance we like to see in the field.

What goes into specifying a chair?

Seating must meet demanding performance requirements and still serve panache. Successful specification often means selecting materials for the work each surface does.

1. Inside backs and headrests ➡️ stain-resistant, easy-to-clean upholstery to protect from constant contact with skin and hair.

2. Seat cushions ➡️ high abrasion resistance to hold up against friction, stretching, and compression.

3. Outside backs ➡️ use expressive colors, textures, and motifs as they repeat prominently across a room, shaping a space's sightlines and ambience.

This concept pairs the soft pebble texture of Anvil in Seashell with the jewel-toned depth of Fresco in Lily, giving each surface a distinct role within one cohesive chair.

Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sacramento was in need of high-performance No-Burn Upholstery™ for its slot-machine floor chairs.

Silo’s subtle pebble texture and strong performance was close to what they were looking for, but custom coloring made it perfect for the space.

When the standard color line does not fit the vision, we can develop a custom color to unite performance and palette.

1,500,000+ double rubs sounds like an unreasonably large number. We know it sounds crazy, but we're serious about durability.

The 1M+ Abrasion Series™ is designed to outlast standard abrasion expectations, helping upholstery stay in service longer in high-use spaces where constant wear is part of the job.

Fabulous, Contender, Lustrous, and Scrim each bring a different texture and design mood, backed by serious abrasion resistance.

A good palette sets the temperature of the room.

As summer sizzles on, we’re drawn to palettes that feel bright but relaxed. Materials that bring texture, softness, and performance together make the whole space feel more considered.

In hospitality spaces, chair backs are often what guests see first. They repeat across a room, help establish rhythm and palette, and shape strong sightlines.

Pattern, texture, and scale become especially important when making material decisions.

The B.O.C. Collection offers our best in back-of-chair upholsteries. With custom embroidery options, you can add branded details to create an even more cohesive experience.

In a casino, a cigarette burn is rarely just a cosmetic problem. Sometimes whole chairs get pulled from the floor, then repairs have to get scheduled and replacements have to be ordered. The gaming floor starts looking more and more inconsistent across the room.

No-Burn Upholstery™ was designed to break this cycle.

By resisting cigarette burn-through, No-Burn helps casino seating stay in service longer and maintain a cleaner, more consistent appearance over time.

For spaces that operate day after day, this is the kind of performance that matters most.

Our new B.O.C. cut velvets bring detail, texture, and movement into every angle of the chair. Raised pile and tonal shifts give each pattern enchanting depth that changes as the light moves across it.

These are the kinds of materials that reward a second look.
