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.

PolyBamboo is a collection of three unique seating fabrics that incorporates the sustainable rapidly renewable attributes of the bamboo plant with the recycled content and durability features of polyester.

Water is a classic solid pattern using the bamboo yarn as an accent. The small scale Rain pattern uses bamboo yarn as a dot/color accent. Wind is a large-scale graphic pattern with contrasting colors in the recycled polyester and bamboo.

The combination of recycled polyester and bamboo provides high abrasion – over 100,000 double rubs.  These innovative, attractive, durable and cost-effective seating fabrics offer excellent value at Grade 3.

Teknion’s PolyBamboo has an odor-free stain repellent surface that is odor free and protects the fabric from penetration of liquids. The dyes and finishes used do not contain heavy metals.

*Viscose from Bamboo is a regenerated cellulosic fiber made from bamboo pulp.

Architectural Fabrics – Rib, Broadcloth & Donegal – have been designed for Altos’ Acoustic Fascias, Smart Fascia Tackable and Fabric Wrapped Fascias.

These sophisticated patterns have a linear appeal that compliments the clean lines and architectural look of Altos. The patterns and colors of these Architectural fabrics integrate with other fascia finish options and Teknion’s fabric and finish program.

Donegal & Rib are constructed from 100% recycled polyester. Broadcloth is 100% Polyester - Low Antimony (has less than 100 parts per million of any heavy metal of concern.)

Teknion’s Specialty Glass category now offers 9 patterns by Skyline Design pre-approved for Altos and Optos.  

An environmentally-friendly etching process replaces harsh acid or sandblasting techniques.  The eco-etch material is captured and reused in a self-contained manufacturing process.

Flexweave is an innovative, high performance seating mesh fabric developed for the Visio chair.  The open weaves allows for increased air flow and user comfort providing increased flexibility to comfortably conform to and support individual back contours and shapes.

Flexeweave is 100% Polyester - Low Antimony.  Dyes pass stringent environmental protocols. 

Teknion’s existing New York seating fabric has been updated with color deletions and the addition of three new colors – Eggshell White, Carbon Blue & Sahara Frost.  New York has been newly constructed and now includes recycled polyester.
