January 5, 2021

Discover how the design team at Burch translated the movement and immersiveness of sound into two coordinated collections of upholstery contract fabrics featured in our latest edition of Sourcebook.

Burch Sounds Off with Two New Performance Fabrics

The Burch Design Studio has achieved a sensory crossover so intriguing that we just had to feature Cadence and Harmony here in The Sourcebook. Burch is a venerable fabric brand known for creating an extensive selection of contract fabric for coordinated application in the hospitality, senior living, corporate, and healthcare markets. Their Crypton fabrics are many, and the designs are bound to inspire. These two particularly energetic textiles have been developed around the inspiration and notion of sound. Here’s how they did it: Cadence and Harmony translate visual elements out of the rhythmic movement of sound into woven textile form.

Burch Cadence employs texture, heathered coloring, and pattern to mimic the way sound transitions from a high pitch to a low one. Shown in Sequoia.

Cadence follows the undulating journey of sound waves in an upbeat geometric, emulating a transition in pitch from high to low. Integrating a three-color twist yarn adds a heathered effect to amp up dimension across the surface. Soft and tactile, the fabric itself will always be silent, but the design speaks volumes. Cadence is offered in eight hues with an emphasis on layered neutrals.

If you’ve ever fallen asleep to the sound of gently lapping ocean waves or the patter of rain, you know the power of ambient sound to soothe and comfort. Harmony embodies that familiar and calming feeling in textile form. The designers evoke this in an intricate, layered fabric that utilizes a blend of metallic and matte yarns to reveal a subtle pattern with a soft and reflective focus. In resorts, spas, long-term care, and healthcare settings, the appropriateness of Harmony is self-evident.

A robust palette of 13 colors includes jewel tones and soft pastels chosen to complement the textile’s gilded accents best. They also harmonize well with their counterpart colors in the bold patterned Cadence design.
