Unified by an aim of “working at the intersection between utility and beauty,” Designtex and West Elm announce Drop 16, a mid-summer textile collection that offers an ethos of softness together with high-density weaves and a clean, fresh look.

Bouclé houndstooth (above and below) offers a “toothy” texture, for a textile that manages to be both chic and masculine at once with a contemporary take on a classic style.

Plush Grid definitely embraces a softer side, its warm and welcoming aesthetic forecasting that fall isn’t far behind.

Cube geo offers an arresting geometric pattern. This finely detailed textile comes in six handsome colorways.

And Speckle Bouclé offers a sense of cozy comfort, “a textural touch to spaces to create a nurturing nest.” 

Drop 16 embraces a live/work ethos. These four arresting patterns each offer a versatile aesthetic that works for the workplace and for places of domestic repose.

Drop 16 textiles meet LEED standards for material ingredients and recycled content. Get further details at Designtex. And find more great textile content on Designer Pages Media.
