Pollack Announces Steelcase Select Surfaces
Steelcase, the world's largest manufacturer of workplace furniture, will now offer Pollack textiles as pre-approved options on their extensive seating line. As part of Steelcase's new Select Surfaces portfolio, described as an "enhanced level of choice for materials that are not part of the standard Steelcase offering", eight of our highly regarded fabrics will be easily available in one seamless ordering process. These designs, chosen from the alphaPOLLACK collection, offer 70 color choices and distill our distinctive contemporary aesthetic in velvet and chenille, in strong graphics, subtle textures and in nuanced tones - and all in hard-working constructions.

The alphaPOLLACK Collection highlights our unique and continuing collaboration with The Alpha Workshops, the New York City not-for-profit design studio that trains and employs people living with HIV/AIDS in the decorative arts. For this collection, Pollack commissioned original artwork to serve as inspiration for the fabrics. In a relationship where, according to Mark Pollack "they design the patterns, we design the fabrics", The Alpha Workshops printed, drew and painted patterns that cover a range of energetic territory, from a simple lyrical line to layers of pulsing or swirling color. One common element is that each artwork clearly exhibits the spontaneous hand of the artist, and we have intentionally kept this quality in our interpretations. A portion of the proceeds from the sales of these fabrics goes to benefit Alpha and support its programs. www.alphaworkshops.org
