Exposed to light, the surface of Connect comes to life revealing an elegant, matt metallic effect that adds a refined vibrancy to the fabric and allows it to complement a vast variety of both cold and warm materials – from wood and leather to glass and metal.
Connect offers 38 beautiful modern vintage colours. The palette connects vintage and contemporary shades inspired by nature and creates a harmony between light naturals and deep darks ranging from rustic browns to greens, reds and indigo blues.
By connecting layers of wool and polyester, Connect offers a unique construction that combines the best from both materials to achieve high-performance properties. The fabric is durable and fire retardant meeting the stringent requirements of Crib5. Connect is ideal for office furnishings and for high-traffic environments such as meeting rooms and waiting rooms.
Made of nature’s own material wool and post-consumer recycled polyester – and with a construction that requires a minimum use of materials – Connect is a sustainable and eco-friendly choice. The fabric carries the EU Ecolabel and is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
