The Crowson Group introduce their new cgc contract folder, featuring a wide range of upholstery & drapery fabrics specially selected for the contract market...

The Crowson Group have introduced an exciting new range of hard-wearing fabrics, vinyls and virtual leathers which have been specifically selected for the contract market. All colourways are shown on concise, easy-to-use colour cards, presented in a versatile folder format. Full product specifications relevant to the contract sector are detailed on the reverse of each card. Chris Worrall, Sales Director at The Crowson Group, comments: ‘We are delighted with the response we have had to the new cgc folders. Those customers that have advance copies have already been using them widely. Crowson, and particularly Monkwell, have had a strong presence in the contract arena for many years, with a reputation for excellent stockholding and service. However, this new sampling initiative promises to elevate our contract activity to a far higher level’. He added: ‘the file format enables us to continually develop and update the product range and we already have many exciting new designs coming through for inclusion into the cgc portfolio’.

Monkwell Launches
Figaro Trevira

Monkwell launches a second Trevira CS collection for the contract market. Following the success of Fragments Trevira, the Monkwell design studio has developed Figaro, its second collection designed specifically to meet the stringent demands of the UK and international contract markets. Trevira CS is ideally suited for use in hotel bedrooms and other public areas. It is inherently flame-retardant, its FR properties being irreversibly embedded in the molecular structure of the fabric. Moreover it is easy to clean, quick to dry and retains its shape well. In keeping with the ergonomic and ecological considerations of the 21st Century, Trevira CS fabrics need considerably less water and detergent to wash them and less expenditure of energy to dry them.

Figaro comprises a dramatic large-scale damask, a stripe and two checks in a spectacular array of coordinating colours. In addition to the intrinsic benefits of the Trevira CS yarn, the fabric enjoys the look and appeal of a washable silk. Almavira: A theatrical 18th century style damask in an expansive array of 17 colours Basilio: A bold multi-colour stripe in five colourways Marcella: A medium scale two-colour check in ten colours Cherubino: A small, contemporary two-colour check and spot motif in six colours.

Five dramatic combinations of fashionable colours give a 21st century twist to the designs: Blue & mocha: modish tones of warm brown are contrasted with ice and cobalt blue Peony: sumptuously combined fashion shades of vibrant fuschia, purple, orange and cherry Naturals: dove grey, café au lait, stone and caramel in a subtle blending of warm and cool neutrals Black & gold: luscious shades of tobacco, chestnut, cinnamon and old gold contrasted with charcoal Green: verdant hues of mint, sage and leaf combined with soft vanilla.
