Many types of textiles fall under the "performance fabric" heading; there are performance velvets and performance linens, among others. What do they have in common? They clean up real nice. Special fabric treatment allows these materials to repel spills and dirt, making it possible to serve lasagna next to beige dining chairs — hello to this gorgeous Dame Dining Chair ($648) — without worry. One caveat: PFAS, a group of chemicals often found in performance fabrics, are linked to health hazards, so be sure to look for PFAS-free fabrics.
