The colors, while broadening the designer's palette, are subtle, supplying only a minimal accent.
MechoSystems of Long Island City, N.Y., provider of commercial window management solutions, launched a new line of shadecloths at NeoCon in June 2015. NeoCon is the world's largest commercial-interiors event.
The shadecloth collection, called SoHo, consists of thin, finely woven yarns and distinctive color themes. The shadecloths have a smooth texture and a soft hand for a gentle, decorous look. The colors, while broadening the designer's palette, are subtle, supplying only a minimal accent, the company reports.
All 12 are available in the same range of open weaves, allowing the specifier to maintain color consistency throughout a space while letting in more or less daylight with a wider or denser weave according to the unique solar orientation of each window wall.
Features of the fabric:
- Available in 12 designer colors with 1%, 3%, or 5% openness.
- Refined 2 x 2 basket weave.
- Smooth texture.
- Soft hand.
"SoHo" is not simply a shorthand for elegance and refinement. The name of this collection commemorates MechoSystems' half-century-long journey from a cast-iron storefront south of New York City's Houston Street to the top of an industry, company reps report.
