Place Textiles Introduces “The
California Collection”
Inspired by the colors and textures of the Pacific Coast, the California Collection
draws on the natural beauty of favorite places in California and translates them
into a group of five new textures and 55 new colors. With this introduction,
Place offers over 150 colors and textures.
Coming on the one year anniversary of the launch of the company, The
California Collection expands the Place premise of woven
textures in carefully integrated systems of color. Designed by
Kristie Strasen, the founder of the company, this new collection
firmly establishes Place as an excellent resource for color and
texture in quality fabrics.
The five new patterns comprising The California Collection provide
the designer with an expanded range of choice. “Catalina” is
a viscose-linen texture with a lavish drape and the look of raw
silk. “Sonoma” is a sumptuous linen-cotton corded stripe
that is washed in soapy water after weaving to give it a soft and
inviting hand. “Laguna” is solution dyed and washable,
adding to the Place durable luxury story and making it a perfect
choice for “real-life” use. “Point Reyes” is
a soft wool that positively glows with natural luster and is exceptionally
durable. “Petaluma” is the beauty of the collection
with a larger-than-life persona. A grand and flowing pattern that
can be splashy and brave or elegant and refined, Petaluma brings
a note of fun to The California Collection.
With a focus on color, texture and durable luxury, Place offers
an integrated selection of wovens suitable for both residential
and high-end corporate use. The emphasis remains on texture rather
than pattern although every now and again, a spectacular pattern
is created to serve as the counterpoint to the textures. The
California Collection continues the Place story by weaving
the beauty of the Pacific Coast into a stunning array of new fabrics.
