Today's mind-boggling array of designer jeans may be great for the
fashion industry, but their rich dyes have been wreaking havoc on
upholstery in restaurants and bars everywhere. With the second
generation of Forbid, Enduratex offers a topcoat that acts as a
barrier so denim dyes don't penetrate and can be wiped off with
soap and water. (A previous version resists ink, paint, wine, and
lipstick.) It's available on about half of the brand's lines, including
the new Stingray, a pebbly pattern that's the latest in an expanding
collection of faux exotic skins.
Best known for its sturdy fabrics, Crypton has responded
to designer requests to create its own vinyl product with Revl
(a combination of the words revolution and vinyl). Developed
in collaboration with O'Sullivan Films, it promises to "easily
release" denim transfer and other stains and to stand up to harsh
commercial cleaners, says Randy Rubin, Crypton's co-founder.
Another differentiator: "Because the technology is integrated into
the engineering process, it doesn't leave a shine," Rubin adds. Also
new from the company, InCase combines two technologies-stain
release and stain protection-without creating a barrier, so the
distinctive hands of fabrics like silk, cotton, or rayon stay true.

Carpet

"One of the most expansive opportunities to achieve a custom
environment is through floorcovering," points out Stacy Walker,
global director of customer experience for Milliken. Building
upon its kit-of-parts concept, the company's new Identity One
line allows designers to choose from a suite of accent colors,
scales, textures, and sequences. "We're able to offer this caliber
of flexible custom capabilities through our high-resolution print
technology," Walker says. "We also use our expertise to make
installing large-scale design on modular carpet simple," with
InCode, a technology that prints an invisible code on each carpet
tile. Readable through a hand-held UV light, InCode allows
installers to quickly and accurately place tiles, and designers to
experiment without forsaking functionality.
