Chella Textiles at HD Convention Miami

Chella Textiles 

Dimensions Collection - Fall 2011
Chella is introducing two new collections for the fall season:

Circuit is a small scale jacquard that derives its name from its circular sunburst pattern. Each color way of Circuit is woven with four different yarns, finely blended to create a complex, chameleon-like weave that will coordinate with many colors.

Available in 6 colors: Thistle, Sandstone, Carnelian, Lichen, Ink, and Lapis.
100% Solution Dyed Acrylic. Woven in the USA

To view the entire Circuit collection visit their website: http://chellatextiles.com/Textfab/circuit.html

Tussah has a three-color strie warp and a novelty boucle yarn in the weft that blend to create a sophisticated yet subtle texture. Tussah has a pebbly look, but is finished to the soft hand Chella is known for.

Available in 9 colors: Thistle, Mariposa, Carnelian, Lichen, Raffia, Ash Bark, Ink, Periwinkle, and Lapsis. 100% Solution Dyed Acrylic. Woven in the USA

Chella's Luxury PERFORMANCE TEXTILES are the industry's first solution-dyed acrylic fabrics created to withstand both the discerning eyes of designers and architects and harsh treatment by sun, rain, freezing temperatures, hotel guests, children, and pets.

With over 200 traditional and transitional patterns and designs, Chella offers something totally new, sensual, and of utmost quality for hotel suites, dining atriums, pool and spa areas, bathrooms, family rooms, nurseries, and loggia.

Walters at HD Boutique Miami

Walters was the sponsor for this years keynote conversation with Tony Chi.

 Keynote Conversation - Tony Chi, founder, tonychi and associates: As principal and founder of his namesake global design company, Chi is responsible for countless bespoke hotel projects including the Park Hyatt Shanghai and Park Hyatt Washington D.C., and for countless timeless restaurants including Spoon for Alain Ducasse in Hong Kong, Spago at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch (Colorado); and The Oak Door at Grand Hyatt Tokyo. He recently completed Andaz 5th Avenue (New York) and is currently working on InterContinental Geneva, Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou (PRC), Residence Project in Beijing, and Park Hyatt Moscow. In his own words, "Any designer can create a dazzling body, but I want to create spaces that have a chance at building a soul." Learn how, beyond delivering aesthetics, Tony Chi delivers experiences. As one of our guests has remarked, "Hearing Tony Chi speak can be a life-changing experience in itself."

Tony and the Walters crew enjoyed some fresh mangos straight from the mango grove of sales rep David Greenfield's backyard.

New to Walters: that patio heater has been reinvented by Kindle Living. For more information, visit their website at www.kindleliving.com 

New this year at the Walters booth is the Aperture collection from The Wicker Works. This wonderful collection features a "open" back so the chair breathes easy and is comfortable. 

Teak and woven resin skirted table/storage unit from The Wicker works. This console provides the ultimate in outdoor entertaining. Use it as a bar or as storage for towels, drinks, food, or any other pool accessories that you have. 

Tuuci at HD Boutique Miami

The Tuuci booth at the Hospitality Design Boutique in Miami, Florida featured some amazing umbrellas. New at the show was the Plantation MAX Cantilever umbrella in a synthetic teak finish. This was my favorite umbrella at the show and Walters will be getting one for our showroom very soon. We love the entire cantilever collection for its aesthic looks, coverage, and the fact that it takes up basically no space on your outdoor deck or patios. Put the base off to the side and let the cantilever umbrella cover the valuable portion of your deck where everyone sits.

In addition was a wonderful display of sculptural umbrellas as well as the Tuuci classics. In the center of the booth was a huge Ocean Master MAX umbrella covering almost the entire booth. This MAX umbrella is sure to provide all day shade by any pool in any location.

They were also giving away some awesome chap-stick. Definitely came in handy to fight that strong Miami sun.
