Glen Raven introducing line at Showtime
HIGH POINT — Five versions of “the good life†inspired the
Life of Leisure collection of Sunbrella performance fabric debuting at fabric source Glen Raven Custom Fabrics at Showtime here this week.
“Each of the five groups has a distinct point of view to reflect individual lifestyles,†said Gina Wicker, design director, “and reminds us that home furnishings not only contribute to comfort, but also help define lifestyles.â€
The collections are:
+ World Market, showcasing rich textures and patterns from exotic destinations. The feature pattern is Heiress, an intricately designed Jacobean floral with a textured overlay. Complementary patterns are Bengal, a wide bar stripe accented with chenille, and Meridian, a solid chambray body cloth.
+ Easy Does It combines island textures with tropical jacquards for looks that would be at home in the city or on the coast. Patterns include Simone, a luxurious textural fabric combining boucle and chenille, and Cordona, inspired by an authentic tatami mat.
+ Pacific Fusion draws inspiration from Eastern cultures to create a look with Zen sensibilities. Camelot is a classic diamond with a red border and hint of textures; Peking is a traditional mirror stripe; and Thailand is a damask texture reminiscent of ancient ikat fabric.
+ Happy Hour features playful patterns perfect for contemporary spaces or as an element of surprise in more tailored settings. Ring Toss, featuring overlapping circles and rings, is complemented by Celebration, a line-drawn floral, and Limbo, a large-scale bar stripe in alternating weaves for added dimension.
+ High Style combines traditional ironwork elements with woven textural patterns to appeal to a classic sense of style. Lead patterns include Mackenzie, an elaborate leaf and scroll; Woodbridge, a large-scale traditional stripe with grid texture overlay, and McDowall, a graphic damask inspired by iron finials.
Glen Raven’s showroom is on the second floor of the Resource Center, 329 S. Wrenn St.
