Pinton have been shortlisted for Fabric Award in The International Design and Architecture Awards 2023.

PINTON, a tapestry weaving company with over 150 years of experience, has announced the release of its first collection of 100% French Jacquard patterns in cotton or cotton and silk. These patterns have been created from archival designs of the Flanders factory, which PINTON acquired. This move allowed the company to integrate Jacquard weaving into its already extensive know-how, expanding its range of textiles from carpets to rugs, fabric and tapestries.

The Jacquard loom, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in the early 19th century, has been a staple in the textile industry for over a century. PINTON Jacquard’s sophisticated technique can weave up to 105 threads per cm2, which allows for a large span of textures, designs and colours. Despite the limited number of colours on each loom being only 7 or 8, the crossing of the threads offers an extensive range of colours and hues, hence more than 500 possible colours per loom. Additionally, the Jacquard technique makes the fabric extremely resistant to deformation by stretching and tearing, which makes it suitable for various supports.

The PINTON Jacquard fabric can be plain with placed patterns or in an “all-over” style, which means a continuous and regular repetition of patterns over the entire surface. The PINTON Jacquard is manufactured in six stages, from the warping to the finishing touches, including the design of the cartoon. Nowadays, with the assistance of computer software, designers can create intricate patterns for Jacquard fabrics.

The new collection, traditionally named “verdures,” features intricate foliage designs created in “all-over” style. The fabric is sold by the metre to cater to the various uses that both private individuals and interior design professionals wish to make of them. PINTON’s collection of 100% French Jacquard patterns in cotton or cotton and silk is a remarkable addition to the company’s repertoire of textiles. With their dedication to producing high-quality fabrics, PINTON is sure to make a mark in the textile industry with this new collection.
