Denim Reimagined for Home, Mobilious Brings Jeans to Your Living Room
LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mobilious today unveils three denim-upholstered sofas—Nuvola, Fiorello, and Bluoro—that translate fashion's most democratic fabric into living-room classics. Drawing on IndigoGuard™ Denim which elevates Turkey's Bossa Textile expertise and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification, these designs pay homage to three iconic silhouettes (the "Original Cloud" modular, Belgian track-arm slipcover, and a Scandinavian-style modular sofa by industry-renowned predecessors) while addressing the 2.16 million tonnes of annual denim waste through durable, plant-fiber construction. Mobilious taps into the Americana/Cowboycore renaissance sparked by American pop idols, positioning denim interiors not as a passing fad but as a sustainable, versatile décor statement. Denim's Double Impact: Style Meets Sustainability Denim is fashion's bedrock—yet over 2.16 million tonnes of jeans end up in landfills each year, accounting for a significant share of textile waste. By reimagining denim for the home, Mobilious answers growing calls for circular design: upcycled and durable upholstery that sidesteps shrinkage, sagging, and synthetic traces. The trend gained momentum when Etsy dubbed 2024 the "Year of Denim Interiors," spotlighting over 16,000 home-decor listings in denim—proof that the fabric is migrating from closets to couches. While the use of the fabric itself hasn't completely skyrocketed, denim hues are increasingly cropping up in 2025's interiors. Meanwhile, pop-culture moments—from Cowboycore-themed music tours to American celebrities embracing denim—have fueled a broader Cowboycore revival in interiors, marrying rugged textures with modern living. Mobilious's Denim Sofa Collection Mobilious reimagines iconic sofa silhouettes by integrating exclusive IndigoGuard™ denim, delivering a harmonious blend of timeless design and contemporary innovation. Experience the ultimate in comfort with Mobilious denim slipcovered cloud couches—washable, durable, and available in blue or white skirted styles. Nuvola: The "Original Cloud" Reimagined with Denim Nuvola honors the legendary Cloud Modular Sofa by an industry-leading predecessor with feather-and-down–wrapped cushions around high-resilience foam cores. Three slipcovered cubes in two depths enable endless configurations, balancing lounge-ready softness with structural support. Mobilious is committed to surpassing this industry icon by developing the world's finest denim sofa through its proprietary IndigoGuard™ Denim technology. This innovative fabric is engineered to deliver exceptional comfort while addressing common denim upholstery concerns such as shrinkage and fading. By combining cutting-edge textile advancements with timeless design, Mobilious aims to set a new standard in denim sofa craftsmanship. The deep, plush seating and luxurious comfort of the original cloud sofa—long beloved by celebrities and design enthusiasts—serves as a springboard. Mobilious elevates the concept by integrating IndigoGuard™ Denim, offering not only superior comfort but also enhanced durability and aesthetic appeal. Fiorello: Belgian Slipcovered Track-Arm Tribute Fiorello channels the acclaimed Belgian Track-Arm Slipcovered Sofa of an industry-renowned predecessor—low-slung, deep-profiled, and finished with a removable denim skirt for easy care. Its pastel-washed cushions and softly angled arms evoke an Italian spring, marrying casual repose with gallery-worthy form. Many users have praised Fiorello for its irresistible sink-in comfort—loved equally by adults, kids, and even pets. Designed as a true sanctuary after a long day, it's the kind of sofa where drifting off comes more easily than in bed. Whether it's movie night, story time, or a spontaneous afternoon nap, Fiorello transforms everyday living into effortless relaxation. Bluoro: Scandinavian-Inspired Slipcover Bluoro adapts the DNA of a beloved Scandinavian modular sofa—loose cushions, skirted base, and generous proportions—into a denim canvas accented with golden piping. The result is a versatile statement piece that complements coastal, Scandinavian, or modern-farmhouse schemes alike. Bluoro's refined silhouette and golden piping elevate denim to the realm of quiet luxury—proving that a denim sofa can indeed be a design indulgence. It's not only supremely comfortable and built to last, but also a conversation-starter that draws admiration from every guest. Whether it's a family gathering or an impromptu visit from friends, Bluoro never fails to impress. IndigoGuard™ Denim and Bossa Textile & OEKO‑TEX® Credentials Three new sofas of Mobilious are upholstered in Bossa's renowned premium denim—hailing from Turkey's heritage mill founded in 1951—and enhanced with our proprietary IndigoGuard™ finish. Every yard of Bossa denim carries OEKO‑TEX® Standard 100 (Product Class I) certification, ensuring each fabric is free from harmful substances, compliant with EU REACH regulations, and meets U.S. CPSIA lead‑limit standards. This plant‑fiber–rich textile delivers a natural, linen‑like hand without shrinkage or sag, making it ideally suited to high‑traffic living spaces. IndigoGuard™ Denim elevates this heritage fabric through over three years of dedicated R&D. In 128 fabric trials, 60 thoughtfully adjusted chemical formulas, and 47 precision wash cycles, Mobilious perfected a dual‑phase stabilization process: a 60–90 °C pre‑wash deeply cleanses cotton fibers, followed by a tightly controlled dye‑fixation bath using acetic acid, sodium sulfate, and a unique polymer resin to lock in indigo pigments. The result is a breathable, anti‑static, and anti‑microbial upholstery that resists uneven fading, marbling, and "whiskering," preserving deep, uniform color wash after wash. Yet IndigoGuard™ retains denim's soul: over time, it develops a rich, characterful patina—much like full‑grain leather that blossoms with age—so each sofa becomes uniquely yours. Together, Bossa's OEKO‑TEX®–certified base and our IndigoGuard™ finish ensure Mobilious furniture stands at the forefront of sustainable luxury and enduring style. Capturing the Denim Decor Moment Trend authorities forecast denim's lasting interior appeal: its deep navy palette fosters calm, its rugged weave endures high traffic, and its mix-and-match neutrality plays well with virtually any décor. Mobilious's launch arrives as design-minded consumers seek pieces that meld fashion pedigree with responsible manufacturing—proof that denim's next chapter belongs in the living room. The three new IndigoGuard™ denim sofas are now available for purchase at the Mobilious official online store: Mobilious invites you to explore these pieces and bring effortless style and lasting comfort to your living room—transform your space with Mobilious today!

Flexport Launches Tariff Simulator to Help Businesses Navigate Rapidly Changing Trade Policies
SAN FRANCISCO, June 02, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Flexport, the leading global logistics technology company, today announced the launch of the Flexport Tariff Simulator, a powerful new tool designed to help businesses estimate landed costs and navigate the evolving tariff landscape with greater speed and confidence. The tool is available to the general public at The launch marks the latest addition to Flexport's growing suite of customs and trade advisory technology—designed to provide importers with the data, insights, and transparency they need to make smarter, faster decisions in a complex global trade environment. With the Flexport Tariff Simulator, importers shipping to the United States can now estimate tariff and landed cost scenarios based on key shipment details, including: Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code; Shipment value; Entry date; Country of origin; and Product-specific details such as material composition. For example, a business importing aluminum-containing goods from China can enter the relevant HTS code, input the aluminum content, and select an entry date to receive an estimated, detailed duty calculation with landed cost. The Flexport Tariff Simulator enables dynamic scenario planning and cost forecasting as businesses explore alternative trade lanes, manufacturing options, and import timelines. "Our customers have been telling us loud and clear: they need clarity on costs," said Ryan Petersen, Founder and CEO of Flexport. "Our engineering team built The Flexport Tariff Simulator in response to meet that need in the face of all the uncertainty caused by rapid policy changes. We want to help merchants avoid expensive surprises." Within the simulator, there is an interactive map that allows users to see critical trade data around the world including the total value of imports from a given country, the current average duty rate, and the percentage of total United States imports coming from that country. Along with the tariff simulator, Flexport is also launching a new, searchable catalog of HTS code content. Each entry provides detailed, easy-to-understand information to help businesses better navigate classification requirements, special duty rates, and implications for their customs clearance process. While there are a number of other duty calculators that have launched, the Flexport Tariff Simulator is unique in its intuitive user interface and the fact it is updated in real time as tariff policies change. The technology is powered by Flexport's deep expertise in trade advisory, accurately applying tariff rates in an evolving, complex environment. As tariffs shift, the simulator and HTS catalog will evolve accordingly, ensuring customers always have the most accurate and transparent data at their fingertips. "As one of the largest customs brokerages in the U.S., Flexport is uniquely positioned to help businesses of all sizes stay compliant while managing risk and cost," Petersen added. The Flexport Tariff Simulator is available exclusively for U.S. imports and will be accessible to the general public for free at: About Flexport We believe trade can move the human race forward. That's why since our founding in 2013, it's our mission to make global commerce so easy there is more of it. Flexport is the tech-driven platform for global logistics—empowering buyers, sellers and their logistics partners with the technology and services to grow and innovate.
