The new, recycled boucle fabric for contract upholstery joining the Skopos portfolio takes its inspiration from Mother Earth – Gaia – with a sophisticated organic look…
Gaia is one of several new Skopos collections, where the focus has been centred around positive environmental footsteps based on the mantra ‘Rethink, Renew, Reuse’. This contract boucle collection is made from 73 per cent recycled polypropylene (from recycled textiles) and 27 per cent recycled polyester (post-consumer waste) and offers a sustainable hardwearing solution, which supports a future vision for environmentally conscious interior textiles. A soft, textured upholstery boucle, offered in a sophisticated, muted, earthy palette, each of the 21 skus includes dapples of complimentary tones to give a grainy, organic, wool look to the quality.
