NEW YORK — Ultrafabrics, supplier of high-tech performance fabric across 11 industries, has expanded its Promessa collection with new colors and a new recycled backcloth. In addition, the company has removed anti-microbial additives from the line.
Japanese-crafted and New York-based, Ultrafabrics’ Promessa collection is a durable fabric solution for commercial interiors, furniture or healthcare applications. Named for the Italian word ‘promise’, it is a 25-year legacy fabric collection for the company.
“We are proud to add new colors, a new recycled backcloth and, as a response to feedback in the healthcare market, we have removed anti-microbial additives,” said Nicole Meier, director of branding. “Whether it’s clinical settings and airports, to restaurants and higher education, Promessa always exceeds expectation.”
Nine new colors for the line offer a refreshed palette of green hues, soft reds and warmer neutrals:
- Desert Taupe – warm, comforting
- Buttered Toffee – subtle, classic
- Galaxy Fog – cool, transformative
- Old Lime – versatile, unassuming
- Olive Moss – fresh, energizing
- Lake Blue – calm, crisp
- Fireclay – organic, earthy
- Rumba Red – rich, alluring
- Aqua Spring – clean, refreshing
Also, supporting Ultrafabrics’ material innovation goal to incorporate a minimum of 50% rapidly renewable and/or recycled materials in its portfolio by 2025, Promessa now incorporates recycled polyester and responsibly sourced viscose in the backcloth for all colors.
The brand also has eliminated antimicrobial additives from the collection, expanding Promessa’s use, particularly in projects where antimicrobial technology is not permitted.
