Liora Manne presents a showstopping Lamontage lineup, the new Kaleidoscope collection, in a new InterHall
space for fall High Point Market.
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Designer Liora Manne moves to a new InterHall showroom (IH-204) for the fall 2024 High Point Market, Oct. 26-30, in which the eponymous textiles and rug studio presents its new Kaleidoscope collection, crafted from a new recycled polyester fiber, and rolls out two new product categories, placemats and tote bags.
“Friday was incredibly busy. There were a few lulls, but it was a surprisingly busy day – and Market hadn’t even opened yet,” Liora Manné told RugNews at a Saturday morning meet and greet for designers at the showroom. “The response today is overwhelming, and between appointments and drop ins we’re expecting a great show.”
A large group of Canadian designers stopped by the Liora Manne showroom for a special meet and greet with designer Manne.
Two new introductions, both line extensions to the patented Lamontage Kaleidoscope range, are launching after five months of intensive research and product development. They signal an enduring commitment by Manne to sustainable design through the use of recycled content.
The new Astrid collection, on a showroom wall, the floor and in Liora Manne's first Carry-All Tote bags, is the first Kaleidoscope line extension of Manne’s eco-friendly REvolution collection, made with recycled PET fibers from plastic bottles, which includes recycled apparel fabrics. The content is 75 percent PET and 25 percent recycled apparel fabric from active wear. Brimming with creative inspiration for designers, the line is specifiable for commercial installations.
Liora Manne presents Astrid, crafted of recycled polyester material, in confetti-like and painterly motifs.
Astrid features an array of 30 vibrant colorways which can be used for rugs, wall and ceiling coverings, as well as upholstery fabrics. Grounding the space are Astrid collection intros, Mystic Mosaic and Mystic Tile, both made with apparel fibers and PET and shown on the showroom floor and in a wall display. “Kaleidoscope is all about patterns, colors and cultures,” Manne said. “The mosaic and tile mosaic and terrazzo tile designs are Mediterranean inspired.” The collection also draws inspiration from cultural tapestries and artisanal craftsmanship, offering a wide tableau of influences.
Honing a circular and proprietary production and manufacturing process, Manne used her groundbreaking trademarked Lamontage technique to create this environmentally conscious lineup with fibers that are sourced from recycled plastic bottles and apparel to create unique needle-punched patterns that are made-to-order. The creative applications for the high-performance material range from rugs, wall and ceiling coverings, fabric, pillows, decorative art and more.
The lineup includes the stunning "SUPERBLOOM” dreamscape, which was initially introduced at the 2024 ICFF and awarded Best in Textiles at the show.
