2 2012 CONTRACT COLLECTION These Classic and Urban-inspired designs include abstracts, solids and woodgrains, as well as factory specials, stones, pure metals and multiple finishes to provide designers with a fresh and approachable look for any project. Six trends played center stage as inspiration for the colors, textures and new Collection graphics: Urban Landscape & Ethical Consumerism The trend of consumers moving out of the suburbs and into urban areas is combined with the desire for farmers markets and local sourcing, restaurants with gardens and even materials and color combinations inspired by nature. Rather than designing literal interpretations of green, manufacturers are now creating more sophisticated sustainable products. Rustic Glam This playful juxtaposition of distressed surfaces and glittery details is partnered with Industrial Chic a layering of elements and influences that are distinctly modern. What s Old Is New Again Not only are iconic pieces being reissued in new ways, but many salvaged materials are being reused. A number of well-established brands are reintroducing classic 50s and 60s designs in strikingly 21st-century interpretations. Layering, Perforations & Tessellations Abstracts are inspired by repeating shapes found in nature, architecture and fashion. Industrial Chic This trend works with all the others. Exposed ductwork and pipes, original windows and brick are all part of the look with metal, concrete, brick and glass as surfaces of choice. Classic Revival White marble has been used for thousands of years for statuary and interior décor. Carrera marble has experienced a remarkable revival residentially and commercially. It also reflects the classic contrast of white and black, shown today with exciting pops of bright color.

Woodgrains have continued to evolve in both color and structure.

Structures continue to be more linear in nature offering a contemporary look.

Larger characteristics, color variation and unique features like saw marks make it easier for designers to add subtle and unique elements to their projects,

Cafelle 7933K-07/Textured Gloss: A sophisticated interpretation of an Oak, Cafelle is a straight grain design rendered in a dark chocolate coloration.

3 Woodgrains have continued to evolve in both color and structure. Grey is a strong influence on several of the new visuals ranging from charcoal to light brown with taupe and grey mingled as undertones. Structures continue to be more linear in nature offering a contemporary look. The refinement of grains such as oak, to a softer less graphic approach allows the color to take center stage. Larger characteristics, color variation and unique features like saw marks make it easier for designers to add subtle and unique elements to their projects, while maintaining the use of a familiar material wood! Cafelle 7933K-07/Textured Gloss: A sophisticated interpretation of an Oak, Cafelle is a straight grain design rendered in a dark chocolate coloration. Loft Oak 7968K-12/Soft Grain: A soft approach to Oak, Loft Oak features straight graining without any of the typically harsh characteristics most people are used to seeing. The coloration is a mid- to light-toned brown, seen in the color play, with a slight grey wash. A light to dark variation of tones occur throughout the sheet. Warehouse Oak 7969K-12/Soft Grain: An additional color way to Loft Oak, Warehouse Oak treats this beautiful soft graining in a color play of mid to dark brown. WOODGRAINS
