UPHOLSTERY CHOICE
The Solstice Colour Inspiration, featuring Ultrafabrics that are compliant with the Healthy Interiors Initiative Collection.
Industry regulators and the Healthy Interiors Initiative recommend that silver ions should be used in these coatings, and not nano-silver, which can leach out.
Combining safety and aesthetics At Happy Kids Dental, an innovative children-only dental clinic in the heart of London’s West End, creating a fun and friendly environment was just as important as functionality and hygiene. When it came to upholstery, the designers opted for the Ultraleather Pro range, which consists of antimicrobial fabrics with silver ion-based protection that are engineered with EPA-registered technology to inhibit the growth of bacteria. They were impressed by the choice of colours and textures, and specified a cheery orange hue called Campfire for the Takara Belmont orthodontal chairs.
Ultrafabrics, the manufacturer of the Ultraleather Pro range, is constantly developing new collections of high-quality fabrics that are beautiful, bleach- cleanable, PVC-free, and hygienic, and releasing new colours and textures. In line
Make Yo A
with the Healthy Interiors Initiative, it selected a range of compliant fabrics from a number of collections in matching shades to inspire interior designers specialised in hospital environments – for example Solstice has a combination of rich, smoky plum tones, and a subtle, moody teal blue. This year’s Colour Refresh launch revived palettes across a number of collections, adding 25 new colours – ranging from rich, saturated hues, to reflective neutrals. The Fusion and Fusion Shimmer collections, which include fabrics with a matte finish, a modern texture, and a soft touch, have been enhanced with 11 new shades. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to rethink so many aspects of our lives – why not reinvent the hospital environment as a comfortable, mindful sanctuary designed for healing? These versatile, luxurious fabrics offer the perfect combination of modern styling, safety, and durability, in the face of stringent new cleaning regimes. They may even signal the beginning of the end of the traditional, cold, white sterile clinical space.
