Kravet Presents PANTONE Color of the Year 2015 Fabric Collection

To coordinate with last week’s announcement of the PANTONE Color the Year 2015, Kravet has introduced a capsule collection of perfectly paired fabrics in PANTONE 18-1438 Marsala. From wonderfully textured neutrals to vibrant patterns and prints, this collection offers immediate options for interior designers interested in incorporating the PANTONE Color of the Year 2015 fabrics into current and future design projects.

According to Pantone, the impactful, full-bodied qualities of Marsala allow the color to be used alone as one grounded statement color or as a hearty accent to many other colors. This highly varietal shade combines dramatically with neutrals including warmer taupes and grays. Browns are a natural fit with Marsala - from beige, terra cotta and camel to deep delicious chocolates. Because of its burnished undertones, sultry Marsala is highly compatible to amber, umber and golden yellows, greens in both turquoise and teal, and blues in the more vibrant range. Marsala pairs exquisitely with monochromatic mixes of peachy pinks and sparkles against antiqued gold metallics.

Kravet customers are among the first to utilize this exclusive color in their own design projects. The PANTONE Color of the Year fabric collection is available immediately through Kravet showrooms and road representations, as well as online at www.kravet.com.

 

Recap: Pantone Day in Kravet Showrooms

This past Tuesday, September 30^th in Kravet showrooms across the country, we celebrated the launch of one of the year’s most exciting partnerships. Earlier this year we announced our collaboration with Pantone, the global color authority. Always a source for color inspiration, Pantone offers designer-inspired products and services for consumers, which now includes Kravet fabrics.

Pantone is the provider of professional color standards for the design industries, so it was with Pantone’s guidance that Kravet introduced a series of color-coordinated pattern books. Each Kravet fabric in the collection has been matched within the color stories to Pantone colors, and paired with coordinates for easy mixing and matching.

To launch the collection to our customers, each showroom selected a Pantone color and designed an all-day event around that color, incorporating food, drink, clothing and, of course, lots of fabric. Here are some snapshots of our very successful Pantone Day:
