LINEAR COLLECTION
SABIN
Founded in Chicago in 2021, Sabin is a company seeking to redefine acoustic lighting “one stitch at a time.” With its signature sewn construction (which eliminates toxic adhesives), Sabin offers a hands-on process that embodies a human-first approach to acoustic solutions. This devotion to craft is made clear in the new LINEAR series, a modular acoustic baffle lighting system that helps shape both the “visual and auditory character of a space.” Available in two profiles, Standard and Stadia, LINEAR’s open-ended, modular system serves as a tool kit for designers, with every component customizable in color, felt, power cord, suspension, and light source.

FEEL & FORM
HBF TEXTILES
HBF Textiles’ Feel & Form upholstery collection comprises five distinct patterns engineered to emphasize surface, light response, and color depth. Designed for commercial interiors, the collection explores how texture alters spatial perception at the furniture scale. Velvet Cord features a pronounced ribbed structure that reflects light directionally, while Velvet Mix extends the line with expanded, adaptable colorways. Blended Bouclé combines looped yarns with metallic threads for controlled reflectivity. Metallic Muse is a full-grain, semi-aniline dyed leather, and Petite Suede provides a soft, matte counterpoint that absorbs light.

FORMA Collection by Gensler Warp & Weft
WARP & WEFT
Gensler’s latest rug collection for Warp & Weft, Forma (from the Latin, meaning “form” or “shape”), explores how structure, balance, and beauty can be found in both the natural world and the built environment. The collection consists of 24 patterns anchored by four design series—Block, Orbit, Tray, and Block Echo—available in hand-knotted, hand-tufted, Axminster, and flatwoven constructions. Each design is available in two distinct color directions—one bright and one neutral—to support the needs of various project typologies. Pictured: hand-knotted in Nepal, the Orbit series uses fluid, concentric linework to introduce movement and visual continuity.

FOUNT, ARC, AND ETHER
MAHARAM
Last November, Edelman Leather launched three new offerings—Fount, Arc, and Ether. Each line aims to “highlight the materials’ inherent beauty” through a nuanced use of color and texture. For designers seeking a softer, muted palette, Fount is available in classic tones with transparent dyes that complement subtle variations within each hide. Arc, embossed on Fount, offers a dimensional surface pattern of curved, hexagonal forms that suggest a woven texture. Lastly, Ether is a luminous, metallic choice available in an opalescent palette of 24 colors, including more vibrant hues like mauve, copper, and chartreuse.
