Full Spectrum Collection
Carnegie, a company that supplies sustainable fabrics and solutions for managing acoustics in commercial spaces, has introduced the Full Spectrum collection. This thoughtfully designed series includes a range of high-performing, easy-to-maintain fabrics at different price points. Guided by community-based design principles and a commitment to sustainability, this collection excels in performance, style, and durability, making it suitable for various settings, including education, hospitality, healthcare, corporate, and multifamily spaces.
Heather Bush, Chief Creative Officer at Carnegie, explains that in today’s changing design world, community-based design principles are increasingly important. This goes beyond just using sustainable materials; it also involves considering cleanability and resilience. Carnegie recognizes that creating a sense of community in spaces is vital, and in response, they’ve introduced the Full Spectrum Collection. It’s designed to cater to the full spectrum of needs in life, work, and leisure.
The Full Spectrum collection is the result of careful craftsmanship, driven by thorough market research and deep engagement with communities. It offers a wide range of textiles to meet various budget requirements and design preferences. From cost-effective coated upholstery to the well-known Biobased Xorel®, this collection provides a diverse selection of highly durable materials built to endure the demands of high-traffic environments.
All fabrics in the Full Spectrum collection are eco-friendly. They are 100% PVC-free, free from finishes, PFAS-free, have very low levels of harmful chemicals (VOCs), and possess inherent antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. These fabrics are easy to clean and maintain, with a durability that exceeds 500,000 double rubs or more. They can be cleaned with bleach and hospital-grade disinfectants without losing quality.
Carnegie’s product developers used innovative knitting techniques to create a softer, more luxurious feel for the Biobased Xorel upholstery in this collection. Moreover, the color choices have been expanded with the introduction of Precision, a new coated upholstery that includes 29 new shades, ranging from elegant neutrals to vibrant colors.
The Full Spectrum collection is designed to work seamlessly with fabrics and wallcoverings from previous collections, allowing for creative combinations of patterns and colors to create enriching palettes.
