Carnegie Fabrics and Swiss textile specialist Création Baumann have announced nine new window covering patterns, allowing designers to experiment with a host of applications from outdoor lounges to workplace conference rooms. Since 1974, Carnegie Fabrics and Création Baumann have shared a common world view in design approach, quality, sustainability, and technical innovation; these patterns are a continuation of that success.

These technical, functional fabrics are perfect for sunny outdoor spaces, indoor places where light needs to be blocked, and everything in between. Two fabrics — Outdoor Denver 102170 and Outdoor Miami 102175 — pass the contract requirements for both indoor and outdoor use — meaning they are resistant to high UV exposure and pass the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) 701 requirements for flammability, a unique feature for outdoor drapery.

“Création Baumann has been a fantastic, steadfast partner to Carnegie for almost half a century,” remarked Carnegie Fabrics CEO Gordon Boggis. “Not only is Création Baumann one of the premier designers and manufacturers of interior textiles in the world, but they also use the highest quality raw materials, and fully aligns with Carnegie when it comes to end-to-end sustainability.”

Carnegie is Création Baumann’s exclusive partner for commercial products in the United States. The partnership includes numerous textiles for drapery, panels, and wallcoverings that divide space, reduce noise, and make a room beautiful. In its 130-year history, Création Baumann’s passion for exceptional fabrics and commitment to sustainable growth has been steadfast. Its commitment to the environment focuses on product longevity, climate compatibility, and the use of cyclable products and materials. The company is OEKO-TEX, ISO 1401, and SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certified.

“From the time my great-grandfather founded Création Baumann in 1886, we’ve had an eye on ecological, economical, and sociological wellbeing,” said Création Baumann CEO Philippe Baumann. “We’re so proud to have Carnegie Fabrics as our exclusive commercial partner in the United States, especially given our similar passions for continuing our respective legacies of quality combined with our dogged commitment to innovate within the fabric industry.”

The new fabric offerings include: Lola 102100: Traditional embroidery is combined with contract-grade performance yarns in our transparent window fabric Lola. Clarity of shape allows Lola to find a refined austerity in look with traditional decorative techniques.

A highly-rated, light-reducing window fabric, it allows you to design for all facets of light, as well as being third-party tested for acoustic sound absorption, making it suitable for both window and panel applications.

Manhattan 102065: A striking leno grid construction, “Manhattan” evokes the very city it was inspired by. Woven with inherently flame retardant yarns, it is available in a rich, versatile palette of matte colors.
