Pallas Textiles Introduces Alinea™ Collection
Pallas Textiles is excited to launch The Alinea Collection™. Evocative, expressive and eloquent, Alinea weaves beautiful stories through visual communication. Storytelling is a powerful journey that fosters an emotional connection, triggering the imagination and tapping into creativity. The Alinea Collection draws from the Arts, which are all creative forms of storytelling, and uses them as a vector of inspiration.
“As a nod to its meaning, Alinea celebrates the chapters we have told, the power of storytelling and the journey we continue to travel,” said Dean Lindsley, Vice President of Pallas Textiles. “It also toys with its etymology, featuring linear design details infused throughout the textiles. We immersed ourselves into the development of this collection. As the tale unfolded, it was apparent how intimately connected Alinea is with the Pallas brand.”
The collection includes the following patterns:
AllusionStorytelling can be emotionally compelling, especially literary devices that convey a deeper meaning beyond the page. Allusion softens the stark geometry of the circle motif, toying with layers and transparency while playing with color in alluring and unexpected ways.
VerseArranged in a metrical rhythm, the cotton-like loopy bouclé yarn of Verse yields a richly dimensional surface that visually versifies weaving and provides a unique tactile experience. Offered in a sophisticated breadth of attention-grabbing colors, Verse engages creativity in the same way emotion can convey a message more effectively than facts and figures.
LoreMost lore begins as an oral tradition, only to be written down later on. We tend to think of lore as something centuries-old, which makes Lore a perfect representation of its namesake with a contemporary twist. Indeed, Lore is a nod to traditional heathered tweeds offered in an array of colors. An upholstery as well as a multi-purpose panel, the versatility of Lore will help fashion spaces that tell au courant visual stories and set the stage for new stories to be told.
VignetteA poetic device that brings us deeper into a narrative, vignettes step away from the action momentarily to shed light on something not quite apparent. Like a brief evocative account, Vignette impeccably expresses the characteristics of a broken stripe yet is infused with marled details. Vignette features surprising color combinations that perfectly embody the story we continue to tell, evoking emotion through tactility and timelessness.
MetaphorMetaphors convey vivid imagery that transcend literal meaning, using language that activates the imagination, sparks intrinsic emotion and makes an impression. A coated fabric infused with the look of natural fibers, Metaphor features a classic crosshatch tabby design. This textile serves as a visual metaphor of a woven staple and is offered in a comprehensive range of avantgarde brights and neutral mainstays.
SimileSimile is used as a literary device to assert similarity between two essentially dissimilar objects or concepts. In a nod to its eponym, Simile’s distinct coated textile surface is created by contrasting layers of color and sheen interacting to mimic woven cloth. A creative approach to denoting dimension and materiality on an otherwise flat surface, Simile is offered in a comprehensive palette of luscious jewel tones and sophisticated neutrals.
Being genuine is as important today as it ever was. From the quality of our materials to the authenticity of our people, we are true to who we are and the creations that bear our name. Pallas Textiles fuses the art of weaving with today’s modern techniques and fibers into sophisticated, stylish and timeless upholsteries, panel fabrics and privacy curtains that continually evolve in color, pattern and texture.
