RESILIENCY WITH STYLE

We have added a new color to Humanscale's popular Monofilament Stripe mesh. Black Monofilament Stripe provides a solid Black option in the very popular Monofilament Stripe line of mesh. It can be used on all Libertychair styles, including the Task chair, Conference chair and Side chair.

Monofilament Stripe is one of three transparent mesh textiles available for the mesh-paneled back of the Liberty chair. The award-winning mesh was designed by Elizabeth Whelan to provide optimal ergonomic support and comfort by melding strength, flexibility and resiliency. The textile is part of the Luminesce collection and was recognized with the prestigious Design Distinction Award in the I.D. Magazine 2005 Annual Design Review.

Monofilament Stripe is a high-performance weave of polyester monofilament and nylon yarns. These translucent yarns are thin, strong and non-stretch, and are woven to create a classic stripe pattern. The luminous quality of each individual monofilament strand allows for the passage of light to create distinctive translucency. Monofilament Stripe surpasses the performance criteria for contract seating textiles and meets a variety of environmental standards in both the United States and Europe. Like all Humanscale mesh textiles, Monofilament Stripe has a pleasing hand specifically designed to be gentle on clothing.

Due to its content, non-stretch quality, and low-abrasion factor, Monofilament Stripe is ideally suited for a range of applications, including upholstery, vertical interior panels and window treatments. The textile can be purchased by the yard for these applications. Monofilament Stripe is now available in five colorways: Black, Carbon, Green, Atlantic and Amber.
