Meet Little Leaf Crypton®, Petal Play Crypton®, and Ridge Crypton®
Designtex, the leading designer and manufacturer of applied materials for the built environment, introduces Little Leaf Crypton®, Petal Play Crypton®, and Ridge Crypton®, members of the new Flora + Form family, each full of color play with an incredibly soft hand. Made in the USA, this trio of woven textiles delivers trusted durability through its permanent stain resistance and patented fluid barrier provided by Crypton®, making them ideal for environments that require both comfort and resilience. Soothing palettes and biophilic patterns create a sense of serenity, making the designs especially well-suited for healthcare, senior living, and other communal settings where wellness and warmth go hand in hand.
Little Leaf Crypton® pairs performance with the quiet beauty of pressed botanicals, layering painterly leaf forms that evoke nostalgia, calm, and natural rhythm in any space. Designed for both resilience and restorative environments and available in 10 colorways, Little Leaf is ideal for spaces that call for both beauty and strength.
Petal Play Crypton® features bold, petal-like forms in a rhythmic pinwheel layout, bringing a modern botanical energy to high performance woven upholstery. Available in 6 hues, Petal Play features layers of detail and visual interest.
Ridge Crypton® features a plush, softly raised, irregularly drawn pattern that references the natural striation of leaf fronds, adding tactile depth and organic structure to performance-driven spaces. Ridge Crypton offers endless coordination possibilities with 14 available colors.
“With Little Leaf, Petal Play, and Ridge, we wanted to create more than just patterns – these textiles offer moments of stillness and connection to the natural world,” says Sara Balderi, Executive Design Director at Designtex. “Each design invites a sense of calm, softness, and emotional wellbeing, while still standing up to the demands of everyday use. It’s about bringing the outside in and creating spaces that feel both nurturing and alive.”
This trio of patterns will stand up to the toughest stains, all delivered with healthier chemistry, and a Crypton finish without the use of PFAS and antimicrobials.
