5 Bringing design to life FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Rebecca Nienkämper Phone : rebeccan@icfgroup.com Website: unikavaev.com Unika Vaev s Fabric Product Introductions at NeoCon World s Trade Fair 2018 CHICAGO, IL June, 2018 Unika Vaev introduces the Back in Touch collection of four new upholstery products; Cube, Link, Mezzo and Origin at the NeoCon World s Trade Fair 2018 Back in Touch is a new collection from the Instyle Design Studio exploring the role textiles can play in providing a moment of presence to counteract the effects of our increasingly digitized and virtual lives. Through the tactility of these fabrics the viewer (or toucher ) is transported back into the physical world, and the present moment. We are becoming further removed from sensual input and the emotional response it evokes, and the sense of touch is becoming particularly marginalized. It s no exaggeration to say we are losing touch with touch, and we are the poorer for it. Tactility is not only an innate source of pleasure, it is also vital for our mental and physical health Viewpoint Magazine #41. The colors across all four ranges have been mindfully developed to complement the intrinsic nature of each weave and offer a strength or softness to complement each of the four constructions. Cube Woven from a combination of ultra-fine and heavy yarns in a Jacquard construction, Cube is a play on differential yarn tensions when the fabric is released from the loom. The result is a fabric with a threedimensional surface effect and a sharp graphic detail. A hand drawn artwork of interlocking blocks was the starting point for the design, with a conscious decision to move forward from more traditional and deliberate geometric formations to one with structural ambiguity in the way the shapes repeat and change. The design echoes technology pathways of circuits and networks softened by the contrast and tactility of the cushioned weave and moves beyond the popularity of sculptured knits to provide a woven upholstery and wallcovering suitable for a wide range of commercial, retail and domestic applications. Link Link is a modern graphic pattern with a double-cloth construction giving a bold positive/negative effect. Inspired by the concept of connectivity, transparency, and movement, Link gives tribute to Modernism. One shape moves into another with graceful precision, creating an interlocking pattern with an effortless quality. The pattern is clean, simple and beautifully uncomplicated with one shape overlapping a mirror image of itself and repeated. As a result, a new pattern is revealed embracing the rule of transparency. The color palette has been designed to provide both strong positive and negative colorways together with more tonal, subtle options.

6 Mezzo Mezzo is a beautiful retro styled wool rich textile, piece dyed to give a contemporary trend led palette ranging from soft coral neutrals to midnight blues and grays. The solid background colors are playfully offset with a feature yarn containing an intermittent twisted highlight that comes and goes both vertically and horizontally. The static nature of the crosshatch effect is softened by this irregularity and the undulating hand crafted nature of the weave. The phasing in and out mirrors our relationship with technology and reality. Being present one minute and focusing on something else the next. Origin Origin is a rich texture woven with a woolen boucle yarn providing a fabric with luxurious tactility. The variegated structure and nature of this beautiful yarn gives warmth and life to the fabric. The tactility combined with the high quality of the fibers, allow you to be immersed in the physicality of the present moment while exploring the surface. The contrasting yarn colors in each colorway have been carefully selected to maximize the three-dimensional quality of the texture. The tones are earthy and gentle responding to the quality of the fabric rather than overpowering it. Feel + Calibre new colors A fresh color update has been introduced to both of these classic textiles, inspired by a desire to reconnect with nature and find meaning and delight in the natural world. Reoccurring interest in foraging, herbalism, handcrafted ceramics and nature-based pursuits have informed the new palettes of rich earthy tones, deep shades of oxblood, pine and inky blue. Jewel like tones of lapis blue and topaz yellow are accompanied by soft lilac, peach and pale sage to add a dreamy lightness.
