Patterned PVC-Free Upholstery Collection by C.F. Stinson
The first of its kind PVC-Free Upholstery Collection was introduced at the NeoCon World Trade Fair in Chicago in 2008, where it was honored with a “Best of NeoCon” Award for New Healthcare Fabrics. The collection is comprised of three patterns (Hoopla, Eclipse, and Flutter), which are offered in an array of colors.
Manufactured in the United States using patent-pending technology, the Patterned PVC-Free Upholstery Collection is soft to the touch, exceeds 400,000 double rubs, and can be disinfected using bleach solutions. The new collection also includes an antimicrobial system that is nonleaching, permanent, and will not wash off or abrade off over time.
The Patterned PVC-Free Collection is comprised predominantly of recycled materials (80%) with 100% recycled polyester backing and produced using water-based inks. These fabrics can contribute to LEED CI credits under various sections of the LEED Certification documentation and process. For more information, visit http://www.cfstinson.com.

Arissa Collection by KI
The Arissa Collection seeks to eliminate the stigma that size-challenged individuals often associate with bariatric furniture. Unlike traditional bariatric seating, which represents large versions of standard products, the Arissa Collection utilizes a universal form that comfortably accommodates virtually any body type.
In addition to its functional benefits, the Arissa Collection blends with a wide variety of architectural and interior plans by evoking a mid-century elegance. The Arissa Collection’s lobby and lounge seating offers interior designers the ability to create a consistent aesthetic throughout an environment.
The collection is a durable, one-of-a-kind family of seating that relies on a unique and patent-pending geometry, combined with solid hardwood and plywood construction, to support up to 750 pounds and accommodate users without appearing oversized or overly delicate. An enveloping back form provides a feeling of privacy, personal space, and security, while the expressed rear leg structure communicates a sense of stability, strength, and safety.
