Make a Luxurious Statement with Chella’s Five Color Palettes for Spring Chella Textiles offers color palettes so stylish and sophisticated for hospitality settings both indoors and out. For Spring 2013, five color palettes—Aegean, Cinnabar, Ocean, Seaport and Verde— make a luxurious statement in guest rooms, a grand lobby, poolside chaise lounges and more. Chella colorways range from classic to fashion-forward: • Field of greens: An unparalleled range of green hues includes rich, earthy Moss, Sage and Foresta as well as brighter Verde, Kiwi and Green Oasis

• Moody blues: Aegean, Ocean, Caribe, Cobalt, Periwinkle, Lapis and Sapphire complement the cloudless blue skies and ocean views at spa and resort getaways

• Spice tones: Warm and exotic, Cinnabar and Carnelian are subtler and spicier than true orange and red

Hospitality designers can rest assured knowing that Chella colors coordinate beautifully across the entire line of solids, textures and patterns. It’s incredibly easy to change out upholstery or drapery, add accent pillows or otherwise supplement a design scheme.

Chella’s Seaport color family, one of five gorgeous palettes introduced for Spring 2013, illustrates Chella’s beautiful color coordination across the entire line including strie, plain weave and chenille designs.

Colorfast, lightfast, mildew- and stain-resistant, and machine washable, Chella 100 percent solution-dyed acrylic fabrics stand up to the elements as well as the hustle and bustle of heavy-traffic hotel, restaurant and spa areas. The convergence of exceptional color coordination and uncommonly durable construction define the livable luxe for which Chella is renowned. Chella Textiles are available through interior designers and Chella’s international showroom network. To view the complete Chella collection, visit www.chellatextiles.com.

they speak regularly amongst themselves; we can’t risk our product failing on a single project. We must always strive for a perfect zero percent failure rate.” The quest for a perfect product begins during the development stage. Because Global Allies only provides products for hotels and hospitality projects around the world, these chairs must be designed, engineered, and constructed with the hotel guest and property in mind. Not only must the product be simple and instinctual to use, it must be durable enough to survive in a rather inhospitable

If Walls Could Talk… Captivating Walls for Nearly 50 Years We’ve all heard “you can have quality, service or low-price, but not all three.” High Point, N.C.-based Graphik Dimensions Ltd. (GD) has been proving that wrong for 48 years. Originally founded by artists, GD quickly became the ultimate resource for creative professionals, with an award-winning catalog and trailblazing as a custom printing and framing e-tailer (pictureframes.com).

munity) as the driver, their team of experts exceeds expectations at every step. “I can’t say enough great things about Graphik Dimensions… we are 100 percent satisfied,” said Dean, client and Marketing Director. “Their attention to detail is second to none.” This “business unusual” model means that there’s never a hand-off from an “A” Team to a “B” Team.

About American Leather For more than 20 years, American Leather has expertly blended refined design, meticulous craftsmanship and oper-

ational excellence to provide beautiful and durable furniture from its Dallas factory. American Leather uses Cutting Edge, a computerized, automated system that utilizes video cameras and lasers in both leather and frame fabrication. This innovative technology provides superior accuracy and reliability over other fabrication methods and allows the company to offer handcrafted furniture with lead times that are much shorter than industry standards. http://americanleather.com/ hospitality/ For more information, stop by Booth #4363.

environment. While many other companies simply import a chair from a vendor they may find at a trade show or elsewhere, Global Allies works with its partner factories to ensure the best available components are used for each chair and the high quality level is continuously maintained, minimizing a number of risks for the hotel and its guests. “Our secret is our incredibly welltrained Quality Control and Engineering team,” says company Chief Executive Officer, Isaac Kubryk. “Not only are they able to ensure that the materials used are consistently the best available, they check 100 percent of all products that we ship. Most other companies are simply im-

porters, many spot check—or have a third party agent check—anywhere between 0-10 percent of what they ship.” By having the ability to stop production to address issues, Global Allies has found ways to help prevent problems before they reach the property. The end results are Task Chairs and Banquet Chairs that enjoy a longer lifespan than expected in two very demanding categories. “Take Task Chairs,” adds company President, David Cline, “as hotels made the transition to these chairs a number of years ago they found that if they bought a Task Chair that was designed for retail use it was likely to fail before a full renovation cycle. As a re-

sult, properties began to see Task Chairs as something that required an upfront capital cost to buy the chairs as well as an ongoing operations cost to replace them as they broke. With Global Allies Task Chairs, because they’ve been designed for hotel use, because of the strict Quality Control process, and because of the industry leading warranty, the property no longer needs to worry about ongoing replacements.” Global Allies knows that product design and quality go hand in hand and continues to lead the industry with new cutting edge designs.

Blue Leaf Hospitality and Coast to Coast Designs Partner to Form BLUECOAST

Pallas Textiles Launches Drift Collection Designed by Laura Guido Clark for Pallas Textiles, The Drift Collection exploits the random, the unexpected. Perfection is difficult, nearly impossible, to achieve. Yet, in today’s world of ongoing technological advances, perfection is almost expected. The Drift Collection provides four patterns with a little twist on design that takes you on a new and sometimes circuitous path. These patterns—Field Play, Fracture, Off Track, and Patina—celebrate the concept of randomness in a time when mass production has given rise to predictability and uniformity. The patterns each push the parameters of perfection, providing dynamic and unexpected patterns. “The Drift Collection continues to broaden the aesthetic bandwidth of Pallas,” said David White, Pallas Textiles Vice President/General Manager. “Laura has consistently provided Pallas with unique pattern work and leading-edge color work that has helped build the Pallas identity of high-performance luxury.” Field Play scatters flowers over a rigid grid, making it the perfect intersection of geometry and organic pattern. It’s available in 12 colors: Natural, Wheat, Papaya, Mango, Poppy, Berry, Citrine, Evergreen, Sea, Midnight, Espresso and Carbon. Fracture appears as fissures and cracks in ice with an overlapping octagonal shape. The smaller pattern creates an overall larger pattern. Fracture is available in 12 colors: Pumice, Wheat, Papaya, Brick, Poppy, Berry, Citrine, Evergreen, Sea, Midnight, Wheat, Carbon. Sometimes life gets bumpy. Off Track follows the ups and downs with a hint of glimmer. Off Track is available in 13 colors: Natural, Wheat, Papaya, Mango, Brick, Violet, Citrine, Avocado, Evergreen, Sea, Midnight, Espresso and

Carbon. Patina is a near solid with the appearance of a textured surface that has beautifully aged over time. It is available in 15 colors: Pumice, Wheat, Papaya, Brick, Poppy, Orchid, Citrine, Evergreen, Celadon, Sea, Midnight, Cocoa, Espresso, Ice and Carbon. Pallas Textiles never drifts far from providing sustainable, high-performance upholsteries. Field Play, Fracture, and Off Track contain post-consumer recycled polyester and offer Greenshield, an environmentally safe high-performance nanotechnology that builds permanent spill and stain resistance into the fiber structure of the fabric, while preserving the hand of the fabric. Patina is a Sunbrella Contract Fabric and is recyclable as part of the Recycle My Sunbrella program. Field Play, Fracture and Patina are also bleach cleanable (CDC-approved 10:1 water/bleach mix). The Drift Collection offers a sophisticated palette that incorporates punches of contemporary color with classic hues. The range of scale combined with the color palette and high performance, makes Drift a smart choice for any interior.

KML’s exciting designer finishes may be thermally-fused to a variety of cores. Thermally-Fused Lamination (TFL) developed by European manufacturers more than 35 years ago and offers well-established advantages in flexibility, continuity and durability. Compared to natural wood, TFL offers greater control over color (especially in large areas), exotic finishes without the cost and impact of natural materials, and more durable, fade-resistant surfaces. Compared to sim-

ilar processes, like High-Pressure Lamination (HPL), TFL offers a much more economical solution, less visible edges (due to thinner materials), more efficient installation, and a permanent bond that will never separate (particularly under high-humidity applications). KML continues to innovate and diversify. KML has recently entered the component business, in response to customer’s requests for cut-to-size boards and edge-banding. Now, in addition to producing the board, KML also process the materials with a vector radius edgebander and a WEEKE BHX-500 CNC Machining Center. The vector can handle a panel 6 feet wide by 11 feet long. By applying, trimming and scraping edge-

banding, the average cycle time is under two minutes. With an exclusive range of designer finishes, certified environmental stewardship, and facilities capable of handling the biggest projects, KML still considers itself “small enough to care.” With a passion for personal customer attention, KML’s sample department is one of the best in the business. Sometimes, a sample is the only way to really know color accuracy and compatibility.
