A few weeks ago, a spider (species unknown) bit me, a simple act of arachnid behavior that sent me to the emergency room with a hot, red, itchy, swollen, and blistered foot—earning me a heavy dose of horrid hospital design, along with some painkillers and a tetanus shot. I am referring primarily to the pastel-hued privacy curtain, which featured (near as I can tell) triangles and peaches. Today’s healthcare fabrics, however, are much more stylish—good-looking enough to crossover into residential and commercial design. The Botanica Collection by Momentum Textiles offers not one, but an entire collection of high-performance fabrics that will put patients at ease.

High-Performance Fabrics for Healthcare

Recently awarded Best of NeoCon Silver, the Botanica Collection includes four durable fabric types: Naked Nylon 2, a 100% Repreve® solution dyed recycled nylon upholstery; Silica Tech, a coated fabric made with 51% silicone and 49% polyester and a PVC-free alternative to vinyl; Dayspell Collection, bleach-cleanable upholstery fabrics; and Fluent, a new pattern in Momentum’s recycled privacy curtain line.

Serene and organic, the Botanica Collection “blurs the indoor/outdoor barrier.” Fluent, for example, features a sinuous, undulating motif in white against a solid background available in nine beautiful colors like Spiced (orange), Kiwi, and Polaris (blue). Dayspell is an expressionistic floral with random, intersecting lines. I’m certain I would have felt immediately improved if I had come across Dayspell in Wasabi in lieu of the aforementioned hospital fabric!
