8.13.14 | New York, NY | Our October launch of Healthcare and High Performance fabrics has been carefully designed to provide an integrated color palette across all eight styles, offering the designer the ability to create diverse mix-and-match combinations within the collection. The selection of a minimal set of colors for each pattern—characterized by harmonious tones with occasional accent colors—also allows these fabrics to be easily integrated into existing settings, smoothly coordinating with preestablished color palettes.

With a subdued but refined aesthetic, this collection of seven upholstery styles and one privacy curtain is suitable for a variety of environments within the healthcare field, ranging from senior living facilities and high-end elective procedure clinics to large waiting rooms in high-traffic hospitals. As Sara Balderi, Designtex’s Senior Designer for healthcare, observes, “I’m interested in designs that offer the possibility of helping enliven or quiet a space. Through the layering of textures, colors and materials, this collection provides designers the opportunity to play.”

The collection is also extremely versatile from a performance standpoint, including robust woven upholsteries as well as high performance polyurethane and vinyl seating styles, offering excellent options for each of the sub-markets within the everexpanding healthcare field. All feature proven performance finishes, including the ground-breaking Cleangene + Silicone, which Designtex introduced to the marketplace earlier this year. Superior stain resistance and durability are hallmarks of this new technology, but a powerhouse cleaning story makes Cleangene + Silicone shine in the most demanding environments—ink and denim transfer are removed with ease and high concentrations of bleach can be used without discoloration or damage to the surface.

With its perfect marriage of sophistication and performance, this collection is destined to find a home in many other environments where these characteristics are at a premium, ranging from hospitality to corporate.
