by Brianna Crandall — July 10, 2015—MechoSystems, a global provider of commercial “WindowManagement” solutions, launched a new line of shadecloths at this year’s NeoCon in Chicago, considered the world’s largest commercial interiors event. The shadecloth collection is called SoHo.
The SoHo Collection consists of thin, finely woven yarns and distinctive color themes. The shadecloths have a smooth texture and a soft hand for a gentle, decorous look, says MechoSystems. According to FMLink’s publisher, on hand at NeoCon, the new shade is much lighter weight than previous collections and has a variety of opacities for different situations.
The colors, while broadening the designer’s palette, were selected for their subtlety, to supply only a minimal accent to the room or work environment. All 12 colors are available in the same range of open weaves, allowing the designer or specifier to maintain color consistency throughout a space while letting in more or less daylight with a wider or denser weave according to the unique solar orientation of each window wall in a room.
Features of the fabric:
- Available in 12 designer colors, with 1%, 3% or 5% openness
- Refined 2 x 2 basket weave
- Smooth texture
- Soft hand
According to the company, “SoHo” is not simply a shorthand for elegance and refinement. The name of this collection commemorates MechoSystems’ half-century-long journey from a cast-iron storefront south of New York City’s Houston Street to the top of an industry.
