Suzanne Tick modernizes timeless weave structures with the Twist on a Classic collection. Houndstooth, herringbone, nubby modern wool, boucle texture, two-toned drapery, and large-scale graphic pattern motif are reimagined through scale studies, iridescent color combinations, and coating technology that makes for unique, tactile surfaces. Crafted with a commitment to sustainability, these six textiles tell a story of mindful innovation.

Made for upholstery, Hyped Up takes the unique contrasting check and block shape of the houndstooth motif and turns it up a notch, enlarging the iconic shape with multicolor weaves to establish an entirely new feel. Elevating a time-trusted suiting material for healthcare, higher education, workplace, and hospitality settings, Herringbone Hybrid combines the depth and beauty of woven textiles with the performance of coated materials.

Upholstery textile Sgraffito is inspired by the artisanal technique of scratching away plasterwork to reveal a differently-colored layer beneath. Wooly Wooly upholstery showcases the luxury of wool at full volume, simple and timeless like a signature mid-century-modern slubby wool boucle. Demi Boucle is a multipurpose textile with the feel of a handspun, looped boucle yarn and the performance and cleanability characteristics necessary for use in today’s dynamic spaces.

The semi-sheer drapery fabric Afterimage is an elegant and reversible wool blend material that creates an enlivening back and forth relationship between open, collaborative spaces and more private offices, setting the tone in a space and offering a highly usable solution for hospitality, higher education, and workplace spaces alike.
