The 2019 Sling Collection—Batyline® Duo and Batyline® Iso—features high-performing sling fabrics that deliver excellent performance, durability and sophistication for outdoor furniture and cushioning and outdoor accessories. Batyline ISO, an industry standard, uses coated high-tenacity polyester yarns, threaded one in warp and one in weft for a square-weave construction. For 2019, a two-color weave has been added. Batyline Duo offers more complexity and artistry, with yarns woven one thread in warp and two in weft for three-dimensional depth. Both fabrics are phthalate-free and recyclable through Serge Ferrari’s Texyloop process.

Designtex and Coalesse Design Studios have jointly produced Designtex + Coalesse, a collection of nine patterned textiles that showcases unique insights across textile and furniture design to offer upholstery fabrics that explore color, geometry and the tactility of fine fibers. All products in the collection meet or exceed ACT contract standards. From Designtex’s own closed-loop yarn, to the finely milled wool and linen, and pre-consumer recycled cotton recovered from T-shirt manufacturing, each material was sourced and selected to imbue a layer of richness, nuance and ecological responsibility into the final designs.
