Jan Showers’s fabric collection for Kravet complements the AD100 designer’s 16-piece furniture collection, which was unveiled last spring. Explained Showers, “We created fabrics that worked well with the furniture, which has a casually glamorous feel and includes subtly chic and versatile frames.” Kravet will also premiere a 1970s-fashion-inspired collection, Decades Furniture Collection, and Simply Smart, a dining and bar seating lineup with access to the Kravet Fabric library, at Market this October.
