Rhythm

With a soft, organic look combined with supreme fire retardant performance, Rhythm is one of a kind and stands out significantly from other 3D and self-supporting mesh fabrics. Rhythm is highly suitable as the bearing component for chair backs, where exceptional fire retardant performance and leading-edge design are absolute requirements. Rhythm can, however, also be used for upholstery to create daring, visual effects.
