Camira Introduces Racer, Sprint and Nexus – Three Stunning New Technical Knits
Global textile innovator Camira, best known for wool-based and bast-fiber upholstery fabrics, is widening its product offering this fall with a selection of technical knits.
The company is introducing three new patterns into its collection: Sprint, Racer and Nexus. Sprint and Racer are classic stretch-knit designs with a smooth macro-cellular construction and a look that will stand the test of time. Sprint is suitable for task chair bases and backs, while Racer is a complementary panel partner. Both have multi-directional stretch.
Nexus is a sleek and stylish technical knit, offering two-dimensional stretch and comfort cushioning, with a pin-prick, dot-matrix design effect. It is suitable both for task seating and vertical surfaces, available in 68-inch width. It achieves the ACT standards for Heavy Duty Performance with 100,000 double rubs on the Wyzenbeek abrasion test.
The new knits offer a balanced color palette of neutrals to brights. Sprint comes in 30 shades, Racer 21 and Nexus 15. All are supported by a 10-year guarantee.
