What’s New
Supreen Collection
The Fabric that keeps liquid out and beauty in.™
Supreen patterns Haven, Legacy, and Scout introduce a revolutionary new performance upholstery material, that marries cutting-edge woven and coated technology to create a unique liquid-barrier textile. The result is a hard-working upholstery fabric with a luxurious look and a surprisingly supple hand. Supreen outperforms in the places and spaces where life hits hard.
View the Supreen Collection page to get a closer look.
Balance and Midway
Balance and Midway are additions to Mayer’s evolving coated textiles portfolio. This vinyl fabric pairing provides excellent performance solutions for the built environment, including enhanced durability, cleanability and longevity in all commercial markets.
Balance – Balance is a printed vinyl rendered in a broken plaid design with a finely textured emboss to create added dimension. Color stories feature blends of analogous colors in rich combinations.
Midway – Known for its heathered like appearance and medley of duotones, Midway results in a unique, eye-catching pattern that is a great stand-alone item or coordinate. The appearance of a woven texture, this mid-scale melange weave typically used in knitwear and denim industries has made its way to commercial interiors.
Fanfare
This playful Crypton® classic is launching with a new color palette!
Fanfare features a geometric Crypton® pattern in a broad range of multi-colored options. Bright splashes of crimson, turquoise, cobalt, marigold, emerald green and harvest gold prevail throughout the fiesta inspired color line. New colors of Fanfare include Carnival, Plum, Sunset, Stone, Meadow, and Denim. Subtle weave variations create refined texture on a canvas like ground. Scaled for versatility, Fanfare works almost everywhere and is perfect for healthcare, senior living, hospitality, education, corporate and retail environments.
View Fanfare and other patterns that launched in the Fiesta Collection on the collections page. Stay tuned for the launch of the new Fanfare colorways this summer!
What’s Next
Pattern and color take precedence this season with the additions of Arcade, Carousel, Centric, Editor, Icon and Truss to Mayer’s existing product line. Launching in tandem with tradeshow season and NeoCon 2022, these vibrant patterns are celebratory of our history in the textile industry.
