Introducing Rivet - our ‘fixating’ new fabric made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester. Designed to connect seamlessly with the modern collaborative workplace, Rivet also forms a bridge between textile traditions and future innovation.
Rivet is a lightly textured hopsack construction with intriguing duotone colour detail, emulating the swathe and sheen of sophisticated suiting in a well-heeled synthetic.
The palette of 33 colourways offers muted tonal shades and bold darker colours that work together with other ranges.
Rivet is made from an entirely new yarnstring, using 100% REPREVE, a brand of recycled polyester fibre that is created from recycled materials, including used plastic bottles. Because it offsets the need to use new resources, such as petroleum, and emits fewer greenhouse gases, REPREVE helps provide a reprieve for the planet.
Introducing Weave In / Weave Out the latest in commercial upholstery fabrics from at work*. As the commercial division of Textilia, at work* have been busy developing a collaboration with one of New Zealands leading creative talents - Simon James
'Our shared vision was to develop a collection of high quality, environmentally friendly NZ wool fabrics, sensitively in keeping with the clean, simple and refined aesthetic that is Simon James'.
Aptly named Weave In/ Weave Out, the slightly unexpected palette plays with the best of quiet neutrals alongside more adventurous and sometimes vibrant solids. Comprising 15 colour ways that happily work together in clean classic or more quirky combos, the two designs cross effortlessly from commercial to domestic interiors. Weave In / Weave Out - a unique celebration of truly homegrown New Zealand textile and furniture design and manufacture.
The UK celebrated it’s fifth annual Wool Week from 5-12 October.The Campaign for Wool looks forward to this week every year as it consistently presents a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with designers, exhibitors, students, retailers and wool enthusiasts to showcase the fantastic fibre that is wool. Every year, new innovative products are created-promoting the versatility of wool via a collection of activities, galleries, workshops and displays. This year our MJ went along to take part and admire all things wool.
The Campaign kicked off with over 300 cyclists parading through the streets of London in their creative array of wool riding gear, to celebrate everyone’s favourite natural fibre.
An incredible 8,200 visitors explored the Wool Collection Interiors exhibit at the superb Southwark Cathedral, and this is where we come in. Fabrics, flooring, furnishings and lifestyle items from names such as Jonathan Adler, Roger Oates, Designers Guild, and our very own Camira Fabrics, showcased their wools in a funfilled environment.
And to mark the end of this inspirational Wool Week 2014, the Campaign for Wool hosted an intimate Tweed Tea Party, complete with tea and sones of course, and embellished with vintage tweed attire, all perfectly set in the Queen Elizabeth room at Southwark Cathedral.
Wools like our Blazer are being used in all sorts of ways - we loved spotting the new Pendleton footwear range from Nike online recently. Have a look for yourself here to view the full range, where you can also customise your own pair and join in the newest craze that is taking over the textile and fashion world.
Our supplier Camira UK have created a fantastic new video, taking you behind the scenes into the world of fabric at their UK headquarters, capturing real life examples of where their fabrics are used, showing real people, and illustrating the depth and breadth of their capabilities and resources. The resulting file defines Camira’s ‘Style with Substance’ ethos, outlining the history, capabilities, innovation, scale and commitment to staff and sustainability in a bright and open way. The film shows those working in the business, from designers to apprentices, speaking about what Camira means to them.
This film also shows Camira fabrics in use and speaks to those involved in their specification – showing the impressive sight of 13.000 fabric covered seats at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, to the inspirational BBC MediaCity UK premises in Salford, and the iconic wool moquette fabrics in the London Underground.

These high performance healthcare fabrics look good, feel soft and work hard. They are powered by a finish developed by Camira called TriOnyx. This makes them stain repellent and waterproof along with anti-microbial and flame retardant to AS1530 Part 3.
Being both anti-microbial and waterproof makes them the perfect choice for healthcare. They are all bleach cleanable-please refer to the technical and cleaning guide for more information.
Camira has spent years developing this healthcare range and so far it has been very successful.
The Halcyon collection includes 5 designs, available in 5 colourways each.
This week’s post covers topics close to our hearts… Sustainability – the moral fibre behind all we do at At Work with Camira, recycling trash into new attractive products, and looking into issues surrounding contemporary workspaces.
Sustainability. Corporate Social Responsibility. Triple Bottom Line. Call it what you like – it’s At Work with Camira’s moral fibre. We have now published our Sustainability Snapshot that explains why Sustainability means more to us than just producing sustainable products to the highest standards, it’s actually a strategy for growth. It’s about the people who make it happen, the progress we make on our journey and the legacy we leave behind. In our long-term Sustainability Strategy every measurable activity is a benchmark that counts.
In our Sustainability Snapshot 2014 our numbers demonstrate our achievements so far and the creative ways we’ve gone about delivering them.
Acclaimed product designer, David Fox has created an edgy debut fabric for his first venture into textiles. Inspiration for this angular design was taken from Nunataks - stunning mountain peaks whose jagged ridges are exposed from dramatic ice fields below. The repetitive echo of stepped inclines becomes more subtle in shade as they silhouette into the distance, enhanced by the combination of four refined weaves. This sharp, distinctive design in both muted and intense colourways contrasts strongly with the softer palette of plain shades that complement beautifully for flexibility of interior scheme planning.
Blazer, our classic wool felt upholstery fabric, has become not just a trend setter, but a trail blazer. It’s the fabric of the moment. And it’s just got even better – with an expanded new colour palette, a new finish, and a compelling narrative about lambs and dolphins which will pull your heart strings!
It’s amazing how quickly colour fashion can change. We’ve had to move with the times, so the emphasis is now on those subtle “in between” shades which were previously in the wings and now take centre stage. The primary brights have become more thoughtful and complex, making for a more mature and grown-up palette, rather than naive and direct.
The fabric is made from pure new wool, from lambs shorn for the very first time, when their wool coats are at their newest, softest and freshest. This translates into an even softer textile fibre and end fabric, which is further improved by a new Decafast finish for an even smoother surface handle like the most luxurious wool suiting.
We use lambswool from the lush rolling pastures of South Island, New Zealand. We’ve partnered with Wools of New Zealand’s Laneve wool integrity programme, which not only gives the assurance of product traceability to identifiable farms, but also the confidence of responsible farming which protects the delicate eco-system and supports the endangered Hector’s Dolphin found off the dramatic New Zealand coastline.
Full of optimism and energy after the dark period of the 2nd World War the 50’s era reflected celebrations, high spirits and razzle-dazzle. The fabulous fifties threw up many a glamour icon, but none as captivating as Marilyn Monroe herself.
Embracing this current key trend, Monroe is a simple yet stylish dobby weave upholstery fabric. It’s textured woollen bouclé creates a pre-worn bobbled effect reminiscent of fifties apparel. It conjures up an eclectic, nostalgic mix of retro memories from an optimistic feelgood decade.
The Monroe colour palette is both kitsch and happy reflecting the post war celebratory lift including candy pinks, retro blues and pop-art inspired tones. The product is named quite simply after ‘Marilyn Monroe’ who was one of the most celebrated iconic figures of fifties Hollywood stardom.
