At Alonso Mercader, we are proud to introduce Q-BIK, a revolutionary 3D technical textile designed to enhance the user experience of contract furniture, hospitality environments, and interior design projects.

This innovative 3D technical textile, developed with recycled polyeter and an anatomical cubic structure, combines:

• Sensory comfort
• Technical performance
• Sustainability
• Contemporary design

Q-BIK represents a significant milestone in the sustainable technical upholstery sector.

Q-BIK is not just an upholstery fabric.

It represents a new generation of 3D functional textiles integrating ergonomics, technical performance and sustainability.

A solution designed for architects, designers and contract professionals seeking:

• Textile innovation
• Active comfort
• Distinctive aesthetics
• Responsible materials

What is a functional upholstery fabric?

A functional fabric does more than cover a surface: it interacts with the body and enhances the seating experience.
Thanks to its high-density three-dimensional structure, Q-BIK generates a natural micro-massage effect that:

• Stimulates blood circulation
• Reduces perspiration
• Improves seat ventilation.
• Activates pressure points to relieve tension and stress.
• Promotes muscle relaxation.

These features make Q-BIK a truly intelligent textile focused on sensory comfort. It is ideal for spaces where well-being is essential, such as offices, hotels, waiting areas, mobility solutions and technical furniture.

AIRFLOW Technology: innovation in breathable and sustainable upholstery

Q-BIK incorporates our exclusive AIRFLOW technology, an advanced system that eliminates traditional processes such as foam backing and optimizes the structural performance of the fabric.
Technical benefits of AIRFLOW

• Superior breathability
• High elasticity for complex upholstery applications
• Excellent strength and durability
• Certifiable flame-retardant properties
• Sound-absorbing capacity for enhanced acoustic comfort
• Two-tone mono-material structure (100% polyester)

Thanks to AIRFLOW, Q-BIK is the ideal solution for contract projects, the automotive industry, the marine industry, and high-performance technical furniture applications.

Sustainable upholstery with recycled polyester

Sustainability is a fundamental pillar in the development of Q-BIK.
Manufactured with recycled polyester, this fabric contributes to:

• Reducing environmental impact
• Optimizing product life cycle
• Lowering energy consumption in production processes
• Promoting responsible textile solutions

Q-BIK responds to the growing demand for sustainable materials in architecture and interior design. Sustainability is a fundamental pillar in the development of Q-BIK.

Manufactured with recycled polyester, this fabric contributes to:

• Reducing environmental impact
• Optimizing product life cycle
• Lowering energy consumption in production processes
• Promoting responsible textile solutions

Q-BIK: the future of technical and sensory upholstery

3D cubic design with dynamic optical effect

The three-dimensional cubic pattern provides not only ergonomic benefits but also strong aesthetic value.
The 3D relief creates a contemporary optical effect that changes with light and perspective, adding:

• Visual depth
• Sophisticated texture
• Architectural identity
• Differentiation in interior design projects

Q-BIK successfully combines design and technology in a single material.
