BRUSSELS — Yünsa is the apparel fabric powerhouse of the Sabanci Group that is turning its sights towards upholstery, specifically wool and wool bends. The company produces 14 million meters of wool fabrics a year and is a key supplier of men’s’ suitings to Hugo Boss and Zara.  Yünsa is based in the Levent district of Istanbul. The new home effort was shown at MoOD for the first time although the upholstery line has been on the market for the past two years and has been quietly showing at Villa Berlasconi during Proposte.  Bora Birgin, Chief Sales Officer was present at MoOD along with Ersin Samsa, the Upholstery Manager. The Yünsa line incudes piece dyed and yarn dyed dobbies. “We’re focused on contract wool fabrics with 50,000 double rubs but we have wool for residential use also,” says Ersin Samsa, upholstery sales manager. The range is priced 10-18 Euros per meter. We are also able to make Zirpro finish that enables our products to pass  flame tests like BS5852 – 0 (Cigarette) and 1 (Match) tests for domestic. In addition, our products can also  pass 5(Crib 5) tests for contract use in Europe and the UK. In addition to showing at MoOD, Yünsa would like to exhibit at Heimtex too. We have also applied for Proposte  in the  main building if possible. In the past, we have shown in the  International Observatory at Proposte but it was not in the main building and therefore not as efficient as the main area.”
