KNOLL SAYS

Prestini Upholstery, 1947
Toni Prestini (1909-1998)

The dimensional stability and balanced quality of Prestini were well suited to the organic curves of Knoll's modern furniture and became a standard fabric for Harry Bertoia chairs in the 1950s.

This inexpensive, machine-woven upholstery fabric manufactured in the US remained a staple of the KnollTextiles line until 1982, long after the other cotton upholsteries had been discontinued.

-------

The goal in reinterpreting Toni Prestini's 1947 classic was to capture the essence of the original upholstery using materials that would meet the performance requirements for today's contract market.

Prestini has a rich color effect and interesting texture achieved by using novelty yarn in a simple weave structure. KnollTextiles created a custom bleach cleanable polyester boucle yarn with the same texture, twist and high-relief effect as the original upholstery.

The fresh white ground combines custom-dyed boucle yarn in fourteen timeless colorways.
