Vivid Collection
Translating their vibrant, painterly style into a sustainable contract wallcovering for KnollTextiles, designers Jee Levin and Randall Buck, the creative team behind the New York Citybased Trove, apply sweeping bursts of digitally printed color onto a nonvinyl Type II material made of 69% cellulose and polyester and 31% recycled polyester. The three patterns, dubbed Swerve, Sway, and Swoosh, cost $54 per yard, come in four to six vivid colorways, and meet the air-quality standards of California IAQ Section 01350.
“Vivid from KnollTextiles is a more affordable, durable rendition of Trove’s wallcovering. A great way to add an artful supergraphic to a space without the fine-art cost.” Clayton Whitman
