Patcraft Introduces Flex & Yield Cartersville, Ga. – June 13, 2011 – A texture that is rich and natural. A geometric that morphs and pools. Opposite ends of the design spectrum merge in Flex & Yield, two beautiful new styles that offer sophisticated, tonal visuals in a palette of both warm and cool neutral colorways.“Flex & Yield are two very striking, yet extremely different patterns that offer unexpectedly beautiful visuals looks when installed,†said designer Deborah Houston. “Designed for high performance installations, this collection is well suited for corporate, healthcare, higher education and other end use segments.†A dynamic visual featuring a large scale geometric and a small scale organic design, these two modular styles offer patterns appropriate for any sized installation. Select the scale and pattern that works best in your project space.
