CF Stinson’s Natural Attraction collection of textiles reproduces the soothing patterns found in the natural world.

Terra is a textile intended to evoke the color and pattern of natural earth. In neutrals like Bark and Fossil, Terra feels earthen. Warm colors include Glow and Fire, which put one in mind of the orange sandscapes of the southwest.

Faux Bois resembles grains of wood. Colors come in organic tones of blue, brown, and gray. While Driftwood and Silver Leaf resemble aspen and birch bark, Eucalyptus is reminiscent of a topographic map.

Four additional patterns—Printemps, Pebble Trail, Echo, and Rain Pool—include pebbles, raindrops, flowers, and ripples of water. Natural Attraction won the Nightingale Gold Award for 2023. The Stinson company, started in the Midwest in 1952, has created innovative textiles for its clients in the hospitality, healthcare, education, and corporate markets. Its clients want textiles that are durable, easy to clean, and harmonize with other designs. Their textiles are environmentally sustainable and Greenguard-certified.  

For an idea of the extent of their designs and colors, see their website. You will find solid colors, geometrics, stripes, and abstract designs. Prospective customers can order swatches of materials through an innovative system that allows for the return of these swatches, which are lent out up to three times and then reused, eliminating waste.
