Soft materials solutions

A project begins with an idea, followed by a design or mock-up and sometimes a plan.

Our development and production teams work with you to bring your project to life, within your own timescales.

Piping, straps, laces, flat or rounded plaiting, fringing, tassels, stitched or glued braids, spaghettis, bindings, edgings, cords etc.

Shagreen marquetry, continuous sheathing, special designs for limited editions and catwalk shows, specific reinforcements; rest assured that our design office is always fully committed to dealing with anything out of the ordinary.

From dividing the master workpiece to cutting out the shapes, roll-to-roll or sequential, digital or mechanical, crush cutting, shearing etc.

A range of around 50 customisable motifs available on individual formats or on rolls, in widths of 3 to 1600mm and up to 8mm thick.

Colouring of PVC or PU surfaces using products that comply fully with regulations. Full width bonding on our calenders. Borlis has its own colorimetry lab and tunnel oven as well as several adhesive application solutions.

The fact that we make our own shapers means that we can produce any design you require, using welded or stitched assembly to suit your needs.

From designing the process through to producing a special machine just for your particular project, using your own equipment or ours, the Borlis design studio is always on hand.
