KnollTextiles Launches the Decennium Collection of Upholstery and Wallcovering

Welcoming a new decade of classic modern design

New York, NY, February 4, 2020—KnollTextiles (NYSE: KNL), the first company to address the fabric needs of the commercial interior founded by Florence Knoll in 1947, has introduced the Decennium Collection of upholstery and wallcoverings. The beginning of a new decade prompted KnollTextiles to reflect on the brand’s evolution and direction moving forward, kicking off 2020 with a collection of upholsteries and wallcoverings in bold, abstract patterns.

Inspired by fiber arts, tactile knits and dimensional shapes, Floressence—a large-scale allover organic upholstery fabric—and Billow—a two-tone patterned wallcovering—anchor the collection. Unique foundation products with ample dimensionality and texture round out the Decennium Collection.

In addition, the collection includes three new KT upholsteries at $40/yard and under, including Chameleon, a high-performance polyurethane; Entwine, a multicolor texture; and Cross Tech, a technical knit upholstery. Dazzle drapery features a luxurious sheen, while Zone double-width acoustic sheer has a dry, crisp hand and the appearance of a natural fiber.

Each of these stunning products may be used alone or combined for a thoughtfully layered and integrated interior. The Decennium Collection has nine products from nine different mills across the United States, Europe and Asia. All tree wallcoverings are manufactured in the United States. .
