Gorgeous

The Spring 2012 Gorgeous collection, named for a particularly irresistible cotton velvet in the newest Pure introductions, brings a dependably well-thought-out set of textiles to the residential, contract and hospitality markets.  There is, of course, the overtly glamorous, such as Gilded Age, with its fine Lurex embroidery.  Four coordinating paisley designs are each made fresh and modern through scale and color, yarn and construction.  There are also four chenille designs that use this perennially favorite yarn in novel and varied ways.  Each of these 28 patterns is well designed and crafted for its intended use, and can be paired with designs across a wide price range, for an affordable yet ‘signature’ look.

About Our Collections

The POLLACK textile collection has grown over the last 23 years to encompass more than 2700 colorways for upholstery, wallcovering and window fabrics. Design Director Mark Pollack and the Studio designers have created our signature line working with mills throughout the world. “We like to work with mills that have unique and fascinating yarns, and a range of capabilities that have not been applied to decorative fabrics before.”  He looks for mills that specialize in particular fibers and finishes, and for those that bring the very detail-oriented approach of apparel fabric manufacturing to the art of weaving fabrics for interiors. Whatever the source, each of our fabrics represents extensive development time, careful production oversight and a commitment to good design. Additionally, Pollack strongly believes that design implies utility. “If you don’t design fabrics that can really be used, they are badly designed regardless of how beautiful they are.”

Our line includes a wide variety of fabric types – velvets with silk, mohair or even acrylic piles, window fabrics with an intriguing mix of layers and complex yarn arrangements, upholstery fabrics using the newest man-made fibers and those with hand-embellished motifs. The range is sophisticated, beautiful, superbly crafted and one that complements all of today’s interiors – from restaurant to reception room, from the airport lounge to the aircraft, from shoe salon to family room to poolside.

Calling himself "a fine artist by training who knows how to weave", Mark Pollack often describes the design process as starting with one particular element of the fabric, though not necessarily always its pattern – an interesting novelty yarn, a special finishing technique or a complex weave structure that imparts a nuanced quality to the fabric. While the objective is to create textiles that delight the eye and hand, equal regard is given to a consistently high level of quality and performance.
