David Fox Design is pleased to announce Adrenalin Fabric

David Fox Design is pleased to announce its lastest venture into fabric design, at this years Orgatec Adrenalin was launched in collaboration with Camira Fabrics.

Adrenalin takes its cue from “liquid fluidity” forming a convergence of graceful, fluid lines and an adrenalin rush which breathes life into the soul of the fabric. The swirling, seductive laces of deep dyed colour provide a perfect tone on tone complement to the beautiful sheen of the fine worsted ground shade.

“In these more muted colourways I see Adrenalin being applicable to hotel environments and working perfectly with natural wood finishes on hospitality orientated furniture,” says David. “In combination with other Camira ranges they will add an air of channeled energy to more corporate interiors”

David Fox Design is pleased to announce Nuna Fabric


David Fox Design is pleased to announce its lastest venture into fabric design, at this years Orgatec Nuna was launched in collaboration with Camira Fabrics.

Inspiration for the angular design of Nuna is taken from “Nunataks”, stunning mountain peaks whose jagged ridges protrude from dramatic ice fields below.

The repetitive echo of stepped inclines becomes more subtle in shade as they silhouette into the distance, enhanced by the combination of three refined weaves.“The pattern of Nuna has the ability to make simple uncluttered shapes become more texturised. It has a very retro feel and tactile quality, particularly in the greens which remind me of the different shades and textures you see in different kinds of moss”

brühl project at ORGATEC 2010

brühl project, presented at ORGATEC 2010, engendered spontaneous enthusiasm from
international visitors to the Cologne trade fair. Impulsively coloured seat objects mosspink
and morning dew were regarded as highlights in the business interior segment, design
Kati Meyer-Brühl.

Wonderfully grouped in delicate and luminous covers, the charismatic seats made a vivacious
splash – a seating concept in its prime, creating inspiration for unusual hotel lobbies and
reception areas.

An invitingly luxurious entrée is achieved with grandiose sofa sunrise with three-dimensionally
capitoned railing rest elements in gold to match the plain body in white leather. Bouffant quilted
rocking chairs lucky animate innovative relaxation zones.

The way in which modern creative interiors become success factors was amply proven by the
extraordinarily positive resonance from more than 61,000 trade fair visitors towards the captivating examples of project planning carried out by 615 exhibitors from 38 countries.
Orgatec 2010 ended on a high note due to its global success.

Brühl was awarded the Blue Angel in October 2009, the only manufacturer of upholstered furniture in Germany to receive it.
