Welcoming a new decade of classic modern design
The beginning of a new decade was the catalyst for KnollTextiles’ Design Studio to step back and reflect on the evolution of the product line and plan what KnollTextiles would be in the 2020s.
The Decennium Collection kicks off the new year by introducing bold abstract patterns for upholstery and wallcovering. Inspired by fiber arts, tactile knits and dimensional shapes, Floressence upholstery and Billow wallcovering are the anchors of this collection. Rounding out Decennium are unique foundation products with ample dimension and texture.
The collection has 3 new KT upholsteries at $40/yard and under including Chameleon, a high-performance polyurethane, Entwine, a multi-color texture and Cross Tech, technical knit upholstery. Dazzle drapery has a luxurious sheen while Zone double width acoustic sheer has a dry crisp hand with the appearance of natural fiber.
Decennium also ushers in the official launch of KT Wall, Wallcovering at $25/yard and under, with Billow and Debut non-phthalate Type II vinyl wallcoverings. Mystique is a woven wallcovering made with plastic water and soda bottles.
Each of these stunning products may be used alone or combined for a thoughtfully layered integrated interior. The Decennium collection has 9 products from 9 different mills in the USA, Europe, and Asia. All 3 wallcoverings were manufactured in the USA.
