For those of you looking to re-upholster that charming antique love seat set or chaise lounge, and want to do it right, try Rubie Green upholstery fabrics.
Rubie Green (homepage images above) is an eco-upholstery fabric company with the creative philosophy:
“It’s a barefoot walk in the sand; it’s a lazy afternoon nap, and it’s your first sight of the Mediterranean coast. It’s life at its simplest, and nature in its wordless beauty. Here at Rubie Green, our mission is to dress your surroundings in fabrics that represent vitality, energy, comfort and style, all while maintaining respect to the environment by using only 100% organic cotton. We believe in classic designs that are familiar to every decade, re-vitalized in an eco-friendly manner. We know that natural does not mean boring, and that interiors make a house a home.”
Rubie Green uses eco-friendly printing methods and all upholstery fabrics are 100% certified organic cotton, whitened without bleach and printed here in the US and printed with water-based, non-toxic inks that are VOC-free. They also utilize a printing process that minimizes water consumption so factory uses only one gallon of water per day. They point out: “This was an exciting discovery for our team as water plays such an integral role in most other methods of printing. We also wanted to avoid fabric waste so we decided to print only on demand, using heat and pressure to finish our fabrics instead of chemicals.”
