Collection Spotlight: Highlighting fresh perspectives from Wolf-Gordon products:
- Borealis — Bradley L Bowers designed Borealis as a testament to the fact that everything in life is in the process of happening. This pattern’s soft gradient resembles spectral (or alien!) forms morphing into view with a look of subtle movement.
- RAMPART® Resolve™ — RAMPART Resolve protects walls against impact and abrasion in high-traffic interiors, and it’s PVC-free. Redondo is an intricate, multi-textured embossing joined with a highly detailed print — with metallic accents — to achieve the appearance and tactile experience of concrete (or the moon’s surface!).
- Sirona — This inherently antimicrobial upholstery textile is worthy of the space age! Unlike other antimicrobial fabrics that contain harmful topical chemical treatments, Sirona is woven with Protect+ technology which embeds natural copper and silver salts into recycled polyester to permanently inhibit the growth of microbes — including staph, E. coli, and klebsiella — in or on the fabric, and reduce the odor caused by bacteria.
