New performance vinyl brings texture, tone and refined dimension to marine upholstery.
CORNWALL, ON, October 2, 2026
Morbern, a leading North American manufacturer of performance coated fabrics,
introduces Sarasota, a new performance vinyl designed to bring another layer of detail to
marine upholstery.
Created as an accent upholstery and inspired by the tactile sophistication of beautifully crafted
handbags and premium notebooks, Sarasota has a refined, tailored hand that adds depth and
dimension to marine interiors. Its understated grain delivers visual interest without overpowering
the overall design, making it equally at home as a subtle complement or a considered design
feature.
Used on seat cushions, headrests, trim and other details, Sarasota gives designers and
fabricators more freedom to layer colour and texture with intention, complementing the primary
upholstery while adding that little something extra.
Think of it as the detail that pulls the whole look together.
DESIGNED TO PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS
Sarasota was developed to coordinate beautifully with other Morbern collections,
including Bayside, Sandpiper and Voyager, opening more possibilities for thoughtful
combinations of colour, texture and tone.
The result is upholstery that feels layered, elevated and fully considered.
And because great design still has a job to do, Sarasota pairs its refined aesthetic with the
performance Morbern is known for. Its 4-way stretch helps it conform beautifully to curves,
contours and detailed upholstery applications, while its non-directional grain provides greater
flexibility during cutting and fabrication without the need for pattern matching.
THE DETAILS MAKE THE DESIGN
Sarasota reflects a simple idea: sometimes the smallest design decisions make the biggest
difference. By creating a material specifically for accenting and layering, Morbern is giving
customers another way to bring depth, coordination and personality to marine upholstery.
Sarasota makes it easier to mix materials with intention and create seating that feels considered
from every angle.
Because sometimes, it’s the details that make the design.
Sarasota is available now in five colourways through Morbern.
