Textiles are a key factor when it comes to furnishing a room. With fabrics designers can easily play with colour, material and texture to create a new interior design or to upgrade existing furnishings. SoFarSoNear has developed a wide collection of Trevira CS fabrics, available in a broad variety of designs and qualities and all of them are inherently flame retardant. It means that they are suitable to be used in hotels and public spaces. When planning an interior design, mood boards are the ideal tool to give a first impression about the future room or space. It is since 2013 that SoFarSoNear is confirmed Silver Member by Trevira, the leader in the production of flame retardant yarns. An important achievement for...

In November 2015 Trevira invited suppliers of Trevira CS fabrics to participate in a creativity competition with their latest developments. Fabrics entered were almost 150 and from these a specialist panel selected 3 fabrics in each of the 5 categories, which received pride of place on the Trevira stand at Heimtextil 2016. In the Rinascimento article the panel sees a successful merging of classic elements with the used look. The fabric impresses as opulent and elegant – like a very traditional material. The baroque pattern, however, is in a state of dissolution; it seems somehow collage-like. The shiny, silky surface contrasts with the ornamental motifs that due to the weave structure seem “worn”. Here too a traditional pattern has been...

The Couture Collection of Kundan Silk Carpets designed for Zollanvari, was awarded as Best Modern Design Deluxe at the prestigious Internationl Carpet Design Award 2014 and was awarded with a Special Mention as Best Home and Decoration Product by The German Design Council in 2015. When we first saw the Kundan Silk carpets of Zollanvari, we’ve immediately associated the astonishing weaving and dying to fashion. That’s how the design concept came about. The beauty of some very iconic fabrics were the ideal inspiration for the ‘Couture Collection’ of Kundan Silk Carpets. The collection features different patterns: Bouclé, inspired by the iconic jackets of fashion myth Coco Chanel, Tweed, sourced from the traditional British cloths but adding new shades of colour, Tartan,...

The Spartito fabric has been selected as one of the qualifying products by a technical panel of judges in the first stage of the process. SoFarSoNear’s new textile design Spartito, is an addition to our Cuprum range. The distinctive Spartito pattern,in copper thread, is based on music written by Daniele Lombardi and designed for SoFarSoNear by R+S architects.

Flame retardant and highly resistant, Spartito is the ideal fabric for Hospitality. R+S architects specified Spartito fabric on acoustic...

The Trompe l’Oeil Collection of rugs designed for Zollanvari was multi-awarded in 2013 and 2014. In 2013 the collection was awarded as Best Innovation at the prestigious International Carpet Design Award 2013 and in 2014 it was awarded as Selection by The German Design Council at imm Cologne 2014. Kilim rugs are world re-known for the simplicity of the sign and the unique flat tapestry weaving. SoFarSoNear ‘s idea was to inject a little Italian style and combine the traditional handcraft with the motifs familiar to the Italian iconography. A true fusion between East and West, between the classical motifs of two great cultures, Persia and Italy. What makes the project so unique is also the use of sophisticated UV print...
