What is Dymetrol?

Seating systems can be constructed using a wide range of materials, many of which are historic and reflect more traditional methods of building seating which are still in use today.

  • Springs

  • Polyurethane foams

  • Wires

  • Clips

  • Frames

Next Generation of Seating

Arville Dymetrol is a modern alternative which replaces many of these heavier and bulkier components with a lightweight, highly effective mono-material. It provides a suspension system that combines comfort, ergonomics and durability – all within a single fabric.

Patented Fibre Technology

At Arville we heat-set the yarns together creating bond points within the fabric which act as individual spring sets. This produces a suspension system that is stronger than any standard spring set system and will not deform or sag over time like other suspension systems. Arville Dymetrol fabrics are based on patented reactive fibres (DuPont Hytrel® technology) which form a bonded weave structure for fabric recoverability.
