1. A Hospital System Soft
Seating Palette for Break
areas, Patient Rooms,
and Waiting Areas
February 2013
The plan to transition from the existing custom space-dyed carpet to a standard line solution-dyed
carpet requires going from a very specific color palette to a neutral palette with accents. Since the
carpet will change gradually, they are looking to coordinate with the existing color scheme and
add neutrals over time. Currently the hospital system reupholsters waiting and lobby seating in
more easily maintained textiles and want to add more coordinating options. The environmental
services group likes the cleanability and durability of performance textiles with Crypton and coated
vinyls and polyurethanes. The engineering and maintenance personnel also want to save money
on the materials. The goal is to reduce the cost and make the overall look more sophisticated. The
options I chose to offer were all less than $50 per yard, all fabrics standard in Crypton and vinyls
and polyurethanes with ink resistance and antimicrobial/bacterial properties.
