A seat certified for a car is not certified for a ferry.

Every transport interior answers to its own fire regulation. Automotive to FMVSS302 and UN Reg. 118. Aviation to FAR 25.853. Marine to IMO 2010 FTP Part 8. Coach, rail and recreational vehicles bring their own. Which is why mobility projects so often end up sourcing a different fabric for every mode — different samples, different lead times, different warranty.

PURE MOVE was built to end that. One coated fabric platform for transport interiors, certified across the modes rather than for one of them.

→ 400,000 Martindale cycles (ISO 5470-2)
→ FMVSS302 · EN 1021-1+2 · UN Reg. 118 Annexes 6, 7 & 8 · FAR 25.853 · IMO 2010 FTP Part 8 · Cal. TB 117
→ Colour fast to perspiration, sea water, chlorinated water and UV
→ Alcohol and bleach resistant. Antibacterial and antifungal.
→ 100% vegan. Made in Portugal. 10-year warranty.

Four styles — Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and Perforation Star — across more than 35 colourways. So a car seat, a motorhome dinette and a ferry saloon can share one visual language and one technical file.

Tecidos que Unem. Fabrics that bring people together.

We swapped the factory floor for Parque da Cidade and spent a morning doing what teams do best: playing, competing, laughing, and eating well.

Team games, bingo with prizes, food and drinks, and a lunch to close it off in the best way.

Behind every roll of fabric we produce there are people who make it happen. This morning was for them.

Here is to another semester of working together. 💙

Ivory is the neutral that never turns cold.

Softer than white, warmer than grey — it opens a space up without draining it, and it lets texture carry the design. Across our collections it reads differently every time: the clean hand of Lima, the quiet depth of Beta and Glam, the finer grain of Furna — and 24 off-whites in Chance 2.0 alone, from Alabaster to Travertine.

Pair it with wood, stone, brass or one deep accent and it holds the whole scheme together.

Built to stay that way: 10-year warranty on stock-service materials.

Built for the gym floor.

Fitness equipment upholstery takes a beating: constant friction, sweat, disinfectants, and daily wipe-downs. Our coated fabrics are engineered for exactly that.

Antimicrobial and antifungal. Easy to clean. Abrasion resistant. Water repellent. Long lasting.

Performance surfaces for benches, machines, mats, and rehab equipment. Made in Portugal for spaces that never slow down.

A material can be industrial-ready, perform well and still not reach the market at scale.

That was the honest centre of “Delivering the Future”, the round table at the closing event of BioShoes4All, where Luísa Sousa, COO of Monteiro Ribas, joined the panel.

BioShoes4All is the largest project ever undertaken by the Portuguese footwear industry, funded by the PRR and Next Generation EU. Its final results made the gap visible: the barriers to adoption sit right across the value chain.

Luísa’s takeaway: Europe’s sustainability focus isn’t only a constraint. It’s a strategic opportunity, one that needs scale, collaboration, and a more integrated bioeconomy.

Textile or coated? In a busy contract space, that stopped being a design question.

Modern coated fabrics carry the texture, shading and depth of woven cloth. So the choice is no longer about how the seat looks on opening day — it’s about what happens after handover.

Three questions worth asking before the aesthetic one:

→ How often is this seat cleaned, and with what?
→ What fire class does the room actually need?
→ How many years until it’s reupholstered — and what does closing that space cost?

Woven textile still earns its place in quiet, dry, low-contact rooms. Coated fabric earns its place where seating is wiped down between users and has to hold a compliance requirement, season after season.

One season at sea is a stress test few fabrics survive.

UV glare off the water. Salt spray. Constant humidity. Chlorinated splashes from the pool. Plus a cleaning routine most fabrics can’t take.

The mistake that leads to an early refit? Assuming “marine-recommended” means fit for every zone. An interior saloon fabric and an exposed-deck fabric are not the same — it comes down to the base beneath the coating (polyester for wet zones, cotton for dry interiors) and IMO fire compliance throughout.

Our new guide covers exactly what to look for, and which fabric belongs where — from open deck to interior cabin.

Navy is a timeless shade that brings depth, confidence, and sophistication to any space. Elegant and versatile, it works beautifully across interiors, from bold contemporary settings to calm, refined environments.

In Monteiro Fabrics collections, Navy stands out with strong character and lasting appeal, especially in textures and finishes that enhance its richness.

A colour that pairs effortlessly with neutrals, naturals, and warmer accent tones, Navy creates a sense of balance while adding a modern, composed feel. It is a classic choice for projects that need style, performance, and a strong visual identity.

The best seats in the stadium have something in common.

Behind the VIP and lounge areas of Volksparkstadion (Hamburg), RheinEnergieSTADION (Köln), Stadion Letzigrund (Zürich), Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt) and the Heinz von Heiden Arena (Hannover 96) is a coated fabric built for the toughest seating there is — PROSOFT.

Made in Portugal, PROSOFT pairs Crib 7 fire performance with a surface that wipes clean between events, stays colour-true under the sun, and carries a 10-year warranty. Weldable, phthalate-free, and ready to be matched to your venue’s identity.
