1. Why Terracotta Velvet is the Designer’s Choice
The terracotta velvet bench acts as a sophisticated neutral. It pairs beautifully with wood, stone, and brass. For projects requiring a more textured, nubby feel, our round boucle storage ottomans in rust or tan offer a similar color story. When designing foyers, this bench works seamlessly with our industrial linen benches for a multi-layered entrance experience.
2. Material Excellence: Contract-Grade Velvet
For B2B buyers, the durability of velvet is paramount. High-performance polyester velvet offers the look of silk with the Martindale rating required for commercial use. Understanding the manufacturing cost breakdown is essential for importers to ensure the velvet quality matches the price point. For a more compact accent, consider our round velvet storage ottomans to complement the bench seating.
