Material Works executive and director of sales Taylor Walters recently came out to visit us in Arizona. What a pleasant surprise and eye opener this was as we made the rounds to different firms in Scottsdale. Traveling with her was a joy. Danielle and I really had a good time as we visited so many of you and expanded our knowledge of the fabric world.
There’s always something we can learn from others in our industry. Even after all these years of being around fabrics, furniture and design I was soaking it up, taking and recording notes. So if you are just joining us and have not heard of Material Works, here’s a little background.
Valdese Weavers in North Carolina started the Material Works brand to service the design trade. Since its inception they have offered some of the best performance brands available on the market today. Inside Out, Ease and Sustain are the three primary fabric brands that come under the MW division. All three are developed and manufactured by the Valdese mills, with each one having different performance characteristics and benefits.
From the 1000+ fabrics to choose from for inside or outside projects, you also have access to custom pillows and trims. There are so many options for your residential, industrial and commercial projects, all you need to do is request the samples.
The simple fact that you as a designer, specifier or purchasing agent can work directly with the fabric mill is special. Why? Because there are so few textile mills left in North America and you get to receive direct sales and support service.
So if you are in Arizona and want access to one of the best performance fabric lines on the market today – let’s start the conversation about Material Works.
