FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CHILEWICH CONTRACT DEBUTS NEW WEAVE, COLORWAYS & BACKLESS WALL TEXTILES AT NEOCON 2017 A sustainable solution for floors and walls NEW YORK, NY – Chilewich Contract is launching a brand-new weave at the NeoCon World’s Trade Fair in June 2017. “Shade” is a flat and tight twill weave that features a unique rotation of signature bi-color yarns which create a subtle ombré effect in the warp. The bi-color yarns share one common color which helps to produce an understated yet expressive shift in color throughout the textile. As with all of the Chilewich Contract textiles, Shade is highly durable and easy to maintain, making it ideal for any environment. Shade is available as Wall-to-Wall flooring and Wall Textiles in six-foot roll widths, and the pattern repeat is 14”. Shade is also available in 18” square tiles, 6”x36” planks and custom size area rugs. No two tiles are the same even when laid in the same direction. The weave boasts versatility, fitting seamlessly into any space. Shade is available in three colorways: Birch, Hickory and Chrome. Chilewich Contract is also launching new colorways for the Bouclé and Ikat collections at Neocon 2017. Bouclé is a Jacquard weave that most resembles a tweed texture that one might find in apparel. The new colorways, Sisal and Sterling, are thoughtfully selected to accentuate Bouclé’s intricate construction and provide dimensional and rich tactile texture. Ikat is named after one of the oldest known textiles in the world. This Dobby weave features carefully chosen contrasting bi-color yarns in which colors appear to vanish and then reappear. The new colorway for the Ikat Collection will be Dark Green. Both weaves are available in sixfoot widths in Wall-to-Wall flooring and Wall Textiles, as well as 18” square tiles and 6”x36” planks. Custom area rugs are also available. In addition to Shade and new colorways, Chilewich Contract introduces BackLess™, a new system that allows Chilewich textiles to be adhered to the wall. The proprietary adhesive is easy to install and allows the Wall Textile to be stripped at any time. Durable and tough, our Type III Wall Textiles offer designers a new way to imagine vertical surfaces and are unique in being able to coordinate and match our floor coverings. BackLess is versatile and can be used for hospitality and multi-family properties as well as projects that require more durable and easy to maintain wall protection. These weaves and products will be on display in the Chilewich booth on the 7 th floor of the Merchandise Mart from June 12th – June 14th, 2017 – Booth #7-7030.
