Designed by Campion Platt, METRO CLOTH introduces a fresh, modern approach to the Classic lines and well-known textures of Jim Thompson’s prints and wovens. Images of raw, urban textures gathered from cities around the world, but especially from Platt's New York City home base, inspired the collection. The overall theme of METRO CLOTH is one of luxurious metropolitan textures and the Collection features a strong industrial-chic attitude.

The ethos of METRO CLOTH goes beyond the cool tones of a busy external life, however. The rawness of the city is transformed into the supple texture and patterns of a sophisticated urban interior life. The colors both compliment and contrast a busy external life while warming to the interior glow of soft neutrals, natural tones and hot contrasting colors with a steely and shimmering bent. Campion's new palette channels the metro personality's strong desire to find nature in the home even as it explores the future possibilities of a comfortable industrial style through luxurious texture and coloration. Campion sees the shelter of natural references housed in the protection of industrial structures as a key metaphor for the future of residential design.

	3260 CROSSROADS 60% cotton - 40% silk 10 colorways Featuring a bold uneven brick pattern with a dusty and alternating finish, this signature fabric embodies the METRO CLOTH Collection standard of a bold but casual urban feel. Offered in 10 colorways, the patterns create a different sensibility with each colorway.
	3261 SPROCKETS 56% cotton, 23% rayon, 21% silk 5 colorways The pattern and shadowing was derived from a series of stacked antique steam radiators typical of old apartment dwellings in New York. The shimmering silk plays on the strong angular pattern alternating between the dark shadows and glistening edges. Sprockets is by far the boldest pattern in the Collection and is ideal for energetic visual applications.
	3262 CONCRETE JUNGLE 45% silk, 22%Polyester, 17%Cotton, 16%Rayon 5 colorways Overlaying a strong orthogonal but random pattern onto a textured chenille background, a subtle contrast is created. The metallic threads morph from light to dark enhancing the movement found in the fabric.
	3263 5th & 57th 67% cotton, 18% polyester, 15% rayon 5 colorways Reminiscent of an aerial view of the strong street grid of New York City, 5th & 57th populates the grid with metallic dots like pedestrians traveling to and fro, creating a subtle but tense contrast.
	3264 AFTERNOON SHADOWS 100% silk 4 colorways Martindale 30,000 rubs Like a lazy afternoon under the fall sun, this diaphanous fabric plays in the strong light or muted shadows creating a visually stimulating wallscape for any season.
	3265 PS1 65% polyester, 35% silk 5 colorways Martindale 11,750 rubs The ubiquitous corkboard found in city schools provided the spark for this all-around fabric. The finish has a gritty urban edge and is perfect for any non-directional use.
	3266 STAY HOME 77% silk, 23% Nylon 3 colorways Remembering long schools days or a quiet Sunday at home looking out of the window into a foggy, rain swept landscape, Stay Home harkens a quiet mood in shimmering moiré finishes.
	3267 CENTRAL BARK 49% rayon, 48% cotton, 3% silk 7 colorways Martindale 29,250 rubs Walking through Central Park, one is always taken by the large and majestic trees. This graphic bark pattern is softened by the easy hand and channeled finish. It is both a natural and inviting finish, perfect for club chairs and pillows.
	3268 HAZE 62% Linen, 21% polyester, 17% Nylon 3 colorways This billowy sheer is a perfect companion to the entire Metro Cloth Collection.
