With its unique residential expression, Tale not only brings a homely atmosphere to office environments but is also an appealing choice for the home office. It brings the home into the office - and the office into the home - tapping directly into the trends of working from home and creating office spaces that replicate the benefits of being at home.
Tale is designed as the perfect match for upholstery fabric Tonal, and together the two fabrics offer unique mix and match opportunities for stylish task chair designs. Use Tonal for the seat and Tale for the backrest to create an intriguing interplay of complementing textures, aesthetics, and colours. The Tale colour palette consists of 15 colours, and no matter which shade of Tale you prefer, there is always an identical colour to be found in the Tonal palette.
Consisting of 100% post-consumer recycled polyester, Tale is primarily made of clear, uncoloured plastic bottles, leaving a smaller carbon footprint, and requiring fewer resources than fabrics made of virgin polyester. The recycled polyester used for Tale is GRS certified (Global Recycle Standard) to ensure transparency and reliable content claims, and the fabric’s environmental credentials are further documented by OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 and EU Ecolabel certifications.
