Very White is a bright, crisp white introduced in response to the need for a vibrant white in Teknion's fabrics and finishes portfolio. Very White is brighter than Storm White and is not recommended to be paired together. For products that have a secondary color selection, the recommended color choice is Platinum. Very White can be found across most finish categories.

The refined design of Dossier executive furniture is further enhanced with five new veneer colors – Acorn, Sierra, Java Bean, Cocoa Brown and Truffle – ranging from light, medium and dark. Selected exclusively for Dossier, these veneers are Rift Cut White Oak and slip matched for a natural linear grain appearance.

The veneers are found in a new category – Veneer 4 and are FSC-certified and offered without an upcharge.

Teknion has introduced a graded-in architectural fabric program with Carnegie featuring five new Xorel fabrics available in Grade 6.

Xorel yarn is a continuous monofilament of polyethelene, which is durable, cleanable, colorfast, flame retardant, anti-bacterial and environmentally sound. Nothing is added to the woven Xorel product to enhance performance - all properties are inherent to the Xorel yarn itself and are permanent properties of the material.

The Xorel name assures performance, quality and longevity and is backed by Carnegie through an unprecedented sevenyear product warranty.

Teknion has updated its graded-in program with new seating and panel fabrics, partnering with textile suppliers – Carnegie and CF Stinson – and refreshing the Luna and Maharam collections with new additions.

A graded-in program expands the textile options available on Teknion furniture.  These fabrics have been application-tested on our products and can be specified with the same ordering convenience as standard fabrics.

The new seating patterns are particularly well-suited for application on Teknion’s latest dna and Vignette soft seating. Many of these textiles have the cleanability features required in hospitality, healthcare and educational environments.

The sophisticated patterns can be used alone or mixed with Teknion’s standard fabrics to fit a desired aesthetic at a required budget.

For product application approvals, please see the notes section on the e-library or the Fabric & Finish Guide.
