The Mitchell Group’s Shannon and Davis Sta-Kleen™ Polycarbonate Deliver High-Performance Beauty

Shannon and Davis

As designers and specifiers continue to prioritize materials that meet heightened durability and cleanability standards without sacrificing aesthetic appeal, The Mitchell Group, a major converter of coated fabrics to upholstery markets around the world, offers Sta-Kleen™ Polycarbonate (Sta-Kleen PC) patterns Shannon and Davis to provide an ideal balance of performance, beauty, and long-term value.

Sta-Kleen PC fabrics are engineered using a 100% polycarbonate resin system, delivering exceptional resistance to stains, chemical cleaners, and abrasion while offering permanent cleanability and long-lasting performance. This technology ensures the materials can withstand the rigorous cleaning protocols and constant use common in commercial environments, alleviating concerns about wear, color loss, or premature replacement. As design expectations evolve, Shannon and Davis exemplify the advantage of selecting upholstery that is as resilient and hygienic as it is visually appealing.

Shannon

Shannon features a two-tone, textile-like texture with an irregular weave effect, offering designers a rich, dimensional surface that elevates furnishings across a wide array of commercial applications. Ideal for hospitality seating, education environments, corporate interiors, and healthcare settings, Shannon provides a premium, refined look paired with the superior performance that Sta-Kleen PC users rely on. Its color range and tactile interest make it versatile enough for statement pieces or broader coordinated schemes.

Davis

Where Shannon brings texture, Davis delivers a sleek, modern appearance through a thin polyurethane coating that results in a smooth, clean finish. With an extensive color offering that spans warm neutrals to saturated hues, Davis supports bold, contemporary design without sacrificing functionality. Built on the same Sta-Kleen PC technology, Davis stands up to heavy traffic, harsh cleaning agents, and challenging environments—making it a go-to choice for spaces where reliability and aesthetics must work in tandem.

“Designers are navigating a new reality where materials must meet aesthetic aspirations while standing up to unprecedented performance demands,” said Bill Fisch, President of The Mitchell Group. “Shannon and Davis exemplify what our Sta-Kleen Polycarbonate line was built to do—provide upholstery that looks exceptional on day one and still performs beautifully years later. Our goal is to give specifiers products they never have to second-guess, whether they’re designing for healthcare, workplace, hospitality, or education.”

With commercial interiors placing renewed emphasis on creating environments that are not only attractive, but safe, sustainable, and built to last, Shannon and Davis continue to stand out as thoughtful, future-ready solutions.
