Irrespective of whether it is in Milano, Cologne or Paris, the topic at current furniture fairs and trend shows is colour. Colours introduce freshness into an interior, affect mood in a positive way and generate bags of style and individuality. Création Baumann, the Langenthal based textile manufacturer introduces colour into architecture with “Solio” its new ‘Basic’ fabric.


A special, textured Trevira CS yarn was developed for the new semi-transparent fabric quality. The look is reminiscent of linen and thus brings naturalness into a room. The understated item is flame-retardant and highly versatile – applications include office and hotel, clinics and retirement homes as well as private residences. The new ‘Basic’ captivates with perfect drape qualities both at the window and in the interior.

“Solio” enthrals with 47 fresh colour tones. White is not just white. The fabric is, even in the neutral colours, available in numerous fine hues. The harmonious run of neutral hues is enhanced with modern colours: mustard yellow, dove blue, dark sage and kiwi green, a contemporary lilac and brick red to make surprising accents. “The accent colours introduce tension”, says Geneviève Hirt, the colour designer. “Every now and then we break up the colour harmony with ingenuity. It is an exciting mix of muted and strong toned unis, which allow for unconventional colour combinations, such as nude and olive for example”, explains Geneviève Hirt.

“Our extensive expertise in our dyeing department allows us to manufacture the fabric in specially customised colours”, says Geneviève Hirt. Customised colours are available from 100 meters. The distinctive, yet quiet all-rounder is available in a width of 300 cm.
