10.28.14 | New York, NY | Leading textile manufacturer Carnegie announces the launch of The Xorel Final Touch Collection. These visually intriguing patterns are high performance; high fashion textiles that explore the possibilities of surface dimensionality.

Cirque Couture explores a tactile interplay between the soft and sculptural surface of the textile never before seen in Xorel. Cirque is a fantasy material for fashion forward headboard, upholstered panels and seating applications. Monocle Embroider was inspired by a desire to offer designers greater creative variety with Xorel for decorative headboards and banquette applications. A unique embroidery technique secures a layer of foam secured to Xorel and creates Monocle’s quilted effect. The padding that adds volume to the surface of Monocle Embroider’s surface also facilitates easy and uniform upholstering. End uses for Monocle Embroider include headboard, upholstered panels, and seating applications.

Pattern Spyro Embroider offers a single row of webbed embroidery offset with a dramatic swath of negative space while the jacquard woven Cycle creates an optical illusion with pattern. At a distance the stylized natural elements morph into a circular motif creating a trompe l’oile effect with three-dimensional textural relief. These two patterns are appropriate for direct glue wall application in addition to providing endless creative possibilities for panels, upholstery, and upholstered walls.

Heather Bush, creative leader for the Xorel brand found inspiration in the visual impact that a final detail can hold. “Monocle Embroider, Spyro Embroider, Cycle and Cirque Couture are high fashion for interiors. These textiles add the final touch to a space much like the bespoke tie or signature scarf will perfectly complete an ensemble. These textiles are a blend of fashion and functionality, suitable for use in today’s demanding interiors. The Final Touch Collection resonates a strong sense of fashion trend providing designers another opportunity to layer their interiors and at the same time not forgo practicality,” says Bush.

Xorel is the premiere high performance environmentally sound textile solution for commercial interiors. No matter what embellishment technique is used, Carnegie remains true to the Xorel brand: beautiful, functional, and sustainable.
