New fabrics to shine at Showtime in High Point
HIGH POINT — It's the era of the artisan.
When suppliers open the doors to their Showtime showrooms here on Sunday, many will be introducing fabric lines with a strong hand-crafted aesthetic. Reminiscent of textiles found in global bazaars or created using centuries-old techniques, these artisanal fabrics are an important option for upholstery suppliers trying to address consumer demand for customization.
"We have added designers, and with this addition, we're now drawing 80-90% of all of our patterns," said Cathy Smith, director of design and merchandising for De Leo Textiles. "We've been heading in this direction for several seasons, and now we've brought it to fruition."
Geometric Geometric fabrics pair well with transitional and modern furniture styles, and the patterns remain strong. Some introductions are straightforward geometric patterns; others have been re-envisioned as abstract forms and shapes.
