It is about selecting the fabric that best responds to the way the space will actually be lived in.

This test measures how resistant a fabric is to abrasion, or in simpler terms, how well it withstands repeated rubbing and use.

The future of luxury yachting is being shaped by responsibility. As sustainability becomes important in the marine industry, textiles are key in designing, refitting, and living in modern superyachts. At Revival, we believe that sustainable innovation must coexist with beauty, comfort and performance. Our mission is to use eco-friendly yacht textiles in every superyacht refit project.

Organic cotton and natural linen, produced without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Plant-based fibres such as Tencel™ and bamboo, known for breathability and low environmental footprint. Revival chooses each material...
