…to Ultrasuede(R)! The vibrant, versatile and incredibly resilient microfiber available from Knoll Textiles.
Invented in 1971, Ultrasuede comes in 22 standard colorways (and tons more with a minimum yardage). This great fabric has a 200,000+ double rub Wyzenbeek rating, is inherently stain resistant and easily cleanable.
Whether you use Ultrasuede on a classic piece from Knoll or a personalized sofa from Steven Anthony, Ultrasuede is sure to last and look good while doing it.

All Good Things Must Come to an End
That’s right, this weekend was your last chance to buy great pieces of furniture from Knoll at a reduced price (until next year). We appreciate and thank everyone who came out this weekend supported a local business. It was great catching up with clients new and old and being able to offer such a great discount on the high-quality and equally beautiful Knoll furniture.
Something I noticed as people were placing their orders was that there seemed to be a “fan favorite” of sorts. The Eero Saarinen Womb Chair and Ottoman.
Available in both the original size and a medium version (which is 85% of the original’s size) the Womb chair is a fantastically comfortable and visually striking chair to own. The soft undulations of the chair’s surface hug your body and make it a joy to sit in. And with all of the fabric choices available, the Womb chair is pretty easy to use in a variety of spaces. Check out the images we found from Knoll below. Read more

Knoll Textiles, 1945-2010
Coffee table books are great. They can make great conversation pieces and sometimes even contain useful and interesting information. Or pictures, who doesn’t love a coffee table book with great pictures?
What makes a book like this even better is when it’s about a great company like Knoll, or more specifically Knoll Textiles.
Knoll Textiles 1945-2010 was put together to celebrate “65 years of premium textile design”.
From CoolHunting.com:
“Reflecting the mid-century Modernist movement, Knoll Textiles prioritized color and texture as primary design elements, unlike any other company of the time. The book shows patterns created through the years in extreme detail, documented period by period. With insightful showroom, fabric swatch and furniture photographs, as well as sketches and illustrations, every page of this encyclopedia has something to teach the reader.”
For any mid-century modern fan in your life, or yourself, this book would make a great addition to your home library or maybe even your Florence Knoll Coffee Table (or other coffee table). Informative, graphic, and chock-full of interesting facts about Knoll and Knoll Textile designers both past and present.

Fashionable Additions to Knoll Luxe
Dorothy Cosonas, KnollTextiles and Knoll Luxe creative director, recently designed 3 new fabrics for the Knoll Luxe 2011 collection that were inspired by current fashion trends: Arabella, Grammercy, and Vermeer. Arabella and Gramercy are both large-scale velvet upholstery fabrics while Vermeer is more like a classic Knoll knubby-textured fabric.
The colors are great, and as upholstery fabrics they’re a fabulous way to bring the fashion industry into your home and onto your Knoll pieces.
