Keilhauer and Camira Partner for New Textile Card

November 17, 2021 (Toronto) – Announced today, Keilhauer has launched a new textile card with Camira, offering a selection of four wools that are made from all-natural fibers and are available in an array of vibrant, trend-forward colors. Keilhauer is proud to further our sustainability goals by partnering with Camira, a top textile brand that shares the same innovative, sustainable-minded values. Pioneering the creation of eco-friendly fabrics for over a generation, Camira is dedicated to minimising its impact on the environment – introducing its first recycled polyester fabric in 1997, and, most recently, launching a collection of fabrics woven from marine plastic waste as part of the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, an ocean clean-up organization.

Camira’s passion for creating some of the world’s most adventurous and environmentally sensitive fabrics made this partnership with Keilhauer a natural fit. Keilhauer’s Camira textile card features four versatile, eco-conscious wools that can easily adapt to any design environment: Blazer, Main Line Flax, Silk and Yoredale.

Each textile family within the card is certified to Indoor Advantage™ Gold and naturally breathable, available in a variety of durable, low-emitting fabrics that have no added flame retardants. All four textiles are rapidly renewable and compostable, and contain antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Each of the textiles has been proactively reviewed to meet Keilhauer’s product requirements and can be placed on all upholstered products.

Camira are makers, designers and manufacturers of textiles, developing fabrics for the contract sector – including offices and schools, hotels, retail and hospitals – as well as for passenger transport on bus, coach and rail.

Camira is a privately-owned UK textile group founded in 1974 under the name Camborne Fabrics, but its heritage goes back to 1783 through various acquisitions. Until a management buy-out in 2006, the company was a subsidiary of Interface, an international manufacturer of textile modular floor coverings, for almost ten years. Today, Camira produces more than eight million yards of fabrics annually and markets them in over 80 countries.

Headquartered in Mirfield, West Yorkshire, England, the company has manufacturing facilities in the UK and Lithuania, offices and showrooms in Europe, North America, Australia and China and a global network of account managers and specialist dealers.

Camira has received numerous awards to date, most recently receiving three Best of NeoCon 2021 awards at this year’s event.

A pioneer of environmental fabrics, Camira has been producing recycled fabrics for 20 years, as well as developing a number of ranges woven from natural wool and bast fibers, such as nettle, hemp and flax.
