Chella Innovations & Awards

For the past 14 years, Chella Textiles’ visionaries Lee Menichella and Scott Bodenner have imagined and executed a series of “firsts” in 100% solution-dyed acrylics and polyolefins. Exceptionally beautiful and uncommonly durable, for use both indoors and out, these logic-defying performance fabrics define the livable luxe for which Chella is renowned. When you see, feel, and experience Chella Textiles first hand, it will come as no surprise that to you that Chella Textiles have garnered prestigious industry honors year after year.
