Content: 88% Polyester and 12% Polyurethane (more than 50% recycled polyester microfibers)

Corde 4 Grade 1 Fabric

Corde 4 is a four-way stretch design which moves with the sitter as they adjust positions in their chair, providing ultimate comfort. Its intricate weave structure, dimensional surface and wide array of neutral and vibrant shades are visually appealing and engaging to the touch.

Fourtis Grade 1 Fabric

Fourtis is a four-way stretch fabric that easily conforms to our cushions for the ultimate in comfort and flexibility. While still adjustable, its satin crepe weave structure is highly durable and creates a strong, high-performance fabric.

Pinstripe Mesh

Pinstripe is a lightweight mesh, that still manages to provide the strength and support of a much
heavier mesh, by using two different monofilament stretch yarns to provide firmness and excellent
recovery of the fabric. Only the pinstripe yarns take the dye, and the monofilament yarns are
grey instead of black, giving a more neutral background to the pattern and allowing light to pass
through the fabric.

Content: 82% Polyester, 18% Nylon

Catena Mesh

Silver Check

This brilliant weave of monofilament strands and silver-coated yarns offers resiliency and

support and comfort by melding strength and flexibility. Like Humanscale's other meshes,
Silver Check has a low abrasion factor and is extremely gentle on clothing.

Monofilament Stripe

This award-winning mesh textile was designed to provide optimal ergonomic support and comfort by melding strength, flexibility and resiliency. Using only monofilament yarns that are thin and strong, a simple but classic stripe pattern is achieved through weave structure and yarn placement. This pattern has slight elasticity, but terrific memory.

Dash

Dash-one of the latest mesh innovations from Elizabeth Whelan Design-was inspired by the way in which the color appears and then disappears, creating a colored "dash" across the fabric surface. Dash combines a variety of elements to be as strong, lightweight and responsive as possible. With a distinct pattern and small scale, Dash carries color brilliantly and densely for a beautiful result.
