high flying fabric
The Elevations collection by Kristie Strasen for CF Stinson transfers the compelling patterns of contemporary architecture into the crisp colors and lines of seven patterns and 63 colorways. Nearly all patterns contain recycled content: Spandrel, Align, and Flight are polyester, Skyline is polyester-nylon, Fenestra is a polyester-rayon blend, Geodesic is a nylon-cotton blend, and Parapet is polyesterrayon. All combine woven structure, texture, and color for adaptable, dimensional designs that coordinate with a variety of surface materials. space 8-4067 TMC Furniture's innovative new digital printing process, ImPrinted, allows the maple veneer on any chair from the manufacturer's Flick, Kestral, Plover, or Lorca/Wyoming series to be embellished with photography, text, and graphics from the manufacturer's portfolio, or COM. That means any digital graphic can be applied to the curved wood veneer on chairs and to the paneled surfaces on lounge seating, tables, and case goods. For bases, choose any TMC adult or child design. space 8-6102
Life is a...
highway, and so is Segis's new modular system of upholstered seating that undulates, swirls, and arcs to form a varying landscape of seats and armrests. Alternating curves with horizontal planes, the Highway Q/R module offers two benches that can be combined as a trio or placed at the end of one of the sinuous narrow or wide ribbon-like benches that comprise units A through O, for a total of 14 elements. Frames are wood and plywood wrapped in polyester foam and covered in fabric or faux leather. space 345
