1 Performance Look Book style with substance Performance fabrics and vinyls take centre stage. More substance than style? We beg to differ and we ll show you why Performance Look Book

2 Performance look book Waterproof fabrics and vinyls. High traffic, high demands, low maintenance but never low on wow factor. At Camira, we believe institutions shouldn t look institutional and public spaces in any environment should inspire the people they serve. Fabric design is one of the easiest ways to introduce pattern and colour into interiors. Camira s products are crafted by us with combinations in mind. Let us show you how together is better. 01 Seat: Vita Oatmeal, Seat Back: Poplar Almond

3 Connect, combine, create Made for each other, Made by Camira. Our treated fabrics are designed and manufactured by us to work beautifully together on furniture. As well as being waterproof, stain repellent, flame retardant and anti-microbial, using tighter weaves creates flatter surfaces that are more easily cleaned. Recycled yarn from our own manufacturing waste, dyed to black, helps to conceal stains while adding a textural dimension. Seat: Blossom Berry, Side Panels: Poplar Berry 03

7 Connect, combine, create The best of both worlds. To optimise cleanability without sacrificing design and comfort, why not pair fabric and vinyl together? Camira s treated, waterproof fabrics are engineered to be the very best a fabric can be in terms of performance. They offer excellent durability, especially when stubborn stains are spot cleaned, but they ll never be comparable to vinyl. Done well, mixing in a vinyl can enhance the look of a chair rather than detract from its visual appeal. Seat: Vita Espresso, Seat Back: Aspen Nutmeg 11

10 Connect, combine, create Challenging projects should still challenge the status quo. It s not always necessary to cover every surface in a waterproof material. In this example, Vita vinyl is used to create an easy, wipe down seating area but Camira s best-selling Blazer Quilt wraps around to add tactile and textural interest in an area with minimal exposure to staining. Wool also has natural stain repellent and anti-microbial properties. Truly intelligent design. Seat: Vita Seal, Side Panels: Blazer Quilt Hourglass Plymouth 17

11 Wipe and go Sometimes the most successful design choices are born out of constraints. There s no choice but to get creative. When wipe and go is an essential element of the specification and even treated fabrics are a no go, combining vinyls can still create an interesting and design led environment. Vita is a leather-look vinyl, with a subtle surface grain effect and full matt appearance. Fabric: Vita Porcelain and Seal 19

13 Machine washable Want an environmentally friendly alternative in the fight against spills and stains? Camira s team of innovators present Track and Trail, especially engineered for use as removable, washable upholstery. No treatments are applied to these luxurious Trevira CS fabrics. Thick enough to soak up the stain and be shrink resistant to 60 o C, machinewashing fabrics keeps them fresher for longer and allows for a softer, comfier aesthetic compared to vinyl. Please note this fabric is not waterproof or stain-proof as it is untreated and designed to be machine washed instead. Fabric: Trail Glow, Surface and Ground 23
