Knoll Textiles Alter Ego: Capri| Classic Wool Upholstery Fabric

 

KNOLL SAYS
Alter Ego is based on multiple archives including a 1947 textural solid designed by Toni Prestini, Suzanne Huguenin’s Knoll Nylon Homespun (1965) and Executive Tweed (1968).  From sheep to loom, Alter Ego is 100% American wool upholstery.  An artisanal process blends up to 6 unique colors of wool fiber to create the multidimensional and heathered yarns used in the upholstery.  A final finishing process creates a soft luster and hand.  Wool is a material for all climates!  Wool fibers are breathable and do not conduct heat.  In fact, wool has built in climate control so it feels cool in hot climates and warm in the cold.  Wool naturally resists wrinkling and staining as well. 

 

MODERN FABRICS SAYS

This is Knolls version of Maharam Hallingdal, and I LOVE IT (truth be told, I like it better than Hallingdal) It's a bit softer. The color "Capri" is a mix of white and blue.
