Upholstery, bedding and soft furnishings fabrics manufacturer Tokyo Fabrics has introduced a unique way of showcasing multiple fabrics on sofas with a new handheld tool.

The sofa fabric template was implemented by the team to enable customers to better visualise how a fabric will look on a sofa.

The template tool simply sits over any fabric design and showcases what it would look like. The company has developed two sizes of the tool, which has been widely described as an ‘innovative’ way of displaying fabrics, especially at trade shows.

Kacey Brreach, Business Development Manager at Tokyo Fabrics, said: “We thought of the idea specifically to use at the January Furniture Show and so far, every customer we have shown it to, thinks it’s a great tool.

“We’re always trying to help make things easier for our customers and this simple, but effective, template endorses our efforts. It’s been a great way to display our new fabrics at JFS so far. Come and see it for yourself.”
