If you visit Showroom 8-1087, you’ll find Paul Brayton Designs, home to a slew of high-performance fabrics. While their contract collections, which include Almost®, Nano-Tex®, and Crypton® brands, have traditionally been associated with the healthcare and hospitality industries, these high-powered fabrics have come a long way–far enough that they can be at home anywhere, including at home.

Their signature Paul Brayton Designs Leather, available in a panoply of colors, includes Buttersoft, a full top-grain leather whose name says it all. And the company has gone to some lengths to improve their tannery, including installing a “new state of the art waste water treatment system” and “using a Chrome Free synthetic water-based vegetable tanning method, not derived from tree bark, yielding a superior green product for the commercial or residential industry.”

And there are other tough fabric options to choose from that don’t come from hides. New Nano-Tex® patterns like Lamour, Rhapsody, and Tea Leaves will surprise you with their marriage of performance and design. Lamour features an undulating rope repeat that reminds me of lassos in flight. Rhapsody is a bold design of dots in different colorways including Wasabi (gentle greens, celadons, and grays) and Amber (warm rusts, reds, and golds). Tea Leaves, as you might surmise, offers a design of tea leaves, in a treatment that resembles tapestry. Performance textiles have never before performed quite so well in the looks department. If you’re a fan of Crypton® fabrics, then Paul Brayton Designs has got you covered. Calypso and Celebration are joyful designs: one with pinwheels and sunrays, the other with wavy stripes and sprinkles of little spots. Whatever your fabric needs, there’s something at Paul Brayton Designs–their durable materials might just be a perfect fit for your space.
