1996 IIDA Product Design Competition: Honorable Mention1996 IIDA ACCLAIM Award: Honorable MentionWoven in a grospoint construction with a horizontal stripe, African Stripe is a unique textile worthy of its inspiration. Richly textured with a striae background in 13 earthy yet traditional colorways and reminiscent of handwoven African textiles, African Stripe offers the designer a fabric that is both classic and contemporary. Its refined scale makes it suitable for use on any kind of seating or even application as wallcovering, while its polyester/cotton content creates a soft yet heavily textured 'hand'.
