I found myself defenseless in conversation with a design firm regarding the limited HM standard fabric palettes. To keep us at a competitive price point against a Knoll lounge chair with the Knoll fabric Zari - Fountain I was defenseless. I spent a couple hours trying to find a crypton pattern that might come close and found one, Spools which is a semi checkered fabric. That was not accepted and so I was forced to use the Knoll textile as a COM. This put me out of the budget against the Knoll chair. Just as a lark I started looking at all seating fabrics. Slideshow and Square peg have a pattern and a slight color variation but are not cyrpton. Generally I found that the majority of the HM standard patterned fabrics are monochromatic. Has anyone else come across this before or am I just experiencing an isolated issue? Any suggestions?

"So say we all" is what a jury foreman says after reading the verdict, to indicate that it was unanimous. The practice is quite old, as you can see from this reference: http://tinyurl.com/3m8243b BTW, the origin of the phrase is actually judicial. “So say we all” is what a jury foreman says after reading the verdict, to indicate that it was unanimous.

Subtle. Good article. Is that a Battlestar Galactica reference in the title? Subtle. Good article.
