Skopos has expanded its textile offering with the Shellen and Cove collections, two voile fabric ranges designed for hospitality, workplace, and communal environments. Manufactured from 100 percent recycled flame-retardant polyester, the fabrics provide privacy, glare reduction, and acoustic softness while maintaining a lightweight, translucent appearance. Cove features a smooth matt finish with a subtle woven texture, while Shellen introduces greater visual depth through the use of slubbed yarns that create a more tactile surface.
Both of the collections are available in 15 colorways, which span soft neutrals and deeper muted shades. Designed for large-scale interior applications, the fabrics are produced in wide-width constructions suitable for expansive windows, room dividers, and wall treatments. The voiles are also washable at 30 degrees Celsius
