The collection of distinctive material engineered by Paul Brayton Designs, has the elegant appearance and
touch of fine soft glove leather with the durability and inherent stain resistance achieved through advanced technology.
The same space-age chemistry used to develop bullet-proof glass and high performance aircraft components has been successfully applied to fiber and textile engineering to produce the outstanding characteristics of the materials in the Almost
® collection.
The nylon fibers in Almost
® are laid down in a three-directional axis similar to the natural structure of collagen that is found in leather, resulting in superior durability. One ounce of this nylon micro-fiber would be long enough to wrap around the equator several times.
Almost
® is a material that is remarkably comfortable to sit on during any season. The porous structure of the Almost
® collection breathes by transmitting moisture vapor through billions of tiny micro-pores. In warm weather, excess heat is dissipated and in cold weather, it is retained.
The intrinsic strength of Almost
® makes it tear and puncture resistant, thus creating a material with considerable versatility. Almost
® can be used for upholstery, desk inlays, or wall and panel applications.
Because of the special finishing developed for Almost
®, the color is an integral part of the material; permanently enriching it with a fresh appearance that will not fade or lose its beauty over time.
