Fairlawn, OH, February 9, 2010 (NYSE: OMN) – Doo-Wop, Shake Your Beauty and Strippy Zippy, the latest Genon® contract wallcovering designs from OMNOVA Solutions, offer modern interpretations of classic styles. Designers and specifiers will be excited to discover the ways in which these patterns can be integrated into today’s interior design projects. Each of these patterns features an environmentally preferred construction, utilizing OMNOVA’s exclusive RECORE™ Recycled Wall Technology. RECORE wallcoverings look, perform and hang exactly like traditional vinyl wallcoverings, but contain 30% recycled content, and are independently certified by Scientific Certification Systems to contain a minimum of 20% post-consumer waste. This trio of fresh designs will enhance any interior environment with a fresh take on the classics.
Inspired by fine spun weaving, Doo-Wop has subtle irregularities and a metallic shine that give it a unique duality. The pattern’s tight, inter-laced weave gives way to a glimmering secret below. Available in 18 on-trend colors, Doo-Wop will be a welcomed addition to any interior design project.
Shake Your Beauty updates the paisley design for today’s environments with a large-scale pattern spread across a shimmering micro-weave. Its attention-seeking paisley flowers are filled with a variety of small, intricate shapes, lending to the pattern’s grandiose imagery. Shake Your Beauty is sure to make a statement in any interior space.
The tightly stacked horizontal lines and shining vertical streaks of Strippy Zippy provide a uniquely dynamic effect to contemporary interiors. Its undulating horizontal structure is offset by a shift in the lines, creating a visually stimulating anomaly. The palette of Strippy Zippy features a dozen fashionable colorways.
These new Genon commercial wallcovering patterns can be custom colored or weighted to meet the needs of almost any interior project. For more information, visit www.omnova.com/genon.
