Two Lively Fabrics Fit for Commercial Applications
Looming Large
A new contract fabric collection by Sina Pearson, the grande dame of textile design, draws on her Nordic heritage. Scandinavia 2.0 features colorful and uplifting geometric motifs tied to memories of Pearson’s “family and travel in the Nordic countries,” she says. The lively patterns have such names as Sweater, Tivoli, and Lapland. They feature polyester yarns in seven or nine different colors woven into durable, bleach-cleanable fabrics that can withstand up to 100,000 double rubs.
