KnollTextiles Launches Between the Lines Collection
KnollTextiles is pleased to release the Between the Lines Collection offering a fashion driven interpretation of the stripe. Confident and modern, the collection explores color and line work in high performance textiles.
Between the Lines has woven and coated upholstery fabrics in varying scales of line work and textures. Sideline is a dramatic diagonal stripe with a weave structure that gives it a hand-crafted appearance. Forward thinking color combinations make Stripemania a fresh and impactful choice whether applied as a vertical or horizontal stripe. Chain Link is a versatile indoor/outdoor upholstery that reads either as a small-scale stripe or as an allover texture. It is antimicrobial and has excellent lightfastness for outdoor use.
The two coated upholsteries in the collection offer an exciting range of bold primary colors and easy to use warm/cool neutrals. Color Field is a vibrant polyurethane with a crosshatch emboss. Brigadoon 21 phthalate-free vinyl upholstery shows playful organic dots arranged into loose stripes. Color Field, Brigadoon and Stripemania are in the KT line of upholstery fabrics priced under forty dollars per yard. All upholsteries in Between the Lines are bleach cleanable.
Ribbon Stripe is a certified Healthier Hospitals Initiative compliant privacy fabric stocked with integrated mesh for easy maintenance. There is a subtle gradation of both color and density of pattern from the bottom of the watercolor-like horizontal stripe to the top of the netting. It is digitally printed on the front and back of the curtain on a textured ground. Beautifully colored and energetic in its aesthetic, Ribbon Stripe is ideal for hospitality driven healthcare environments.
Line Work wallcovering shows crisp pinstripes printed atop of a textured ground. This is a 3-color print with water-based inks on environmentally friendly non-phthalate vinyl. The unfussy yet sophisticated Line Work will withstand high traffic environments and aggressive cleaning.
โIt is always exciting to see our new collections run parallel to what is happening on the runways as fashion generally leads design trends. Our focus for Between the Lines was to explore various types of graphic line work as performance products that would exceed the needs of demanding interiors while looking both current and timeless,โ Dorothy Cosonas, Creative Director KnollTextiles
