Dynasty Low-VOC Wallcovering: A Wink of Damask
Not your mother’s damask, Dynasty brings a batik fabric effect to this classic motif. The soft pearlized finish lends luminescence to the mid-scale pattern. A silver thread runs through some colorations to further enhance the antiqued textile appeal. The 12-color palette ranges from tone-on-tone silvery white to buttery gold to deep, rich rust and berry. Great for ballrooms, corridors, guestrooms, healthcare and senior living, Dynasty is made of 20-ounce, Type II vinyl on non-woven backing. The low-VOC wallcovering measures 52”/54” and uses water-based inks and adhesives.
Wavelengths Low-VOC Wallcovering: Sculpted Simplicity
Flowing rivers, windswept sand dunes, undulating ocean waves and striated bedrock….Wavelengths by Versa brings to the wall the sculpted ebb and flow of natural vistas. Simple in form yet dramatic in effect, Wavelengths can be hung vertically or horizontally to create crisp, clean and organic architectural structure. The wallcovering is at home in any space, from corporate to boutique hospitality to smart retail. A crisp palette of 21 colors includes stark white, cobalt blue, true red, festive peacock and midnight black. Made of 28 ounce Type II vinyl on Osnaburg backing, the low-VOC wallcovering measures 52”/54” and uses water-based inks and adhesives.
Tessitura Recycled Wallcovering: A Wavy Weave
Tessitura’s free-flowing horizontal waves float across a structured background, creating a loosely woven, textile effect that is both organic and geometric. A shimmer of metallic thread gives the subtle checkerboard effect contemporary appeal. Tessitura is Italian for texture, and its tactile good looks come in 18 nature-inspired colors that run from soft Sesame and Amber gold, to mid-tones of blue-green Lakeshore and leafy Loden, to saturated brick-infused Clay and woodsy Woodland. Earthy and earth-friendly, Tessitura is made with Second-Look® Recycling Technology and includes 20% recycled content. After its first lifetime of use, Tessitura can be reclaimed through the Second-Look program, which covers the freight of the wallcovering to its recycling center in New Castle, Indiana. The low-VOC wallcovering is made of 20-ounce Type II vinyl with Osnaburg backing, measures 52”/54” and uses water-based inks and adhesives.
Fire and Ice
Get ready to adjust the thermostat for Versa’s shimmery hot and cool combo called Fire and Ice. We are very excited to start 2010 with this exciting duo that will infuse interiors with luxury and light.
Ice glitters with all the richness of a polished silk fabric in 18 crystalline colors from Glacé, Frost and Hail to Brilliant, Spumoni and Black Ice.
Ice’s sensuous texture becomes the background for Fire, which turns up the heat with tiny metallic diamonds that explode in firework-bursts. Fire’s 18 colors glow in white-hot Sparkle, fiery Blaze, hazy Smoke, charred Ember and other sumptuous, sizzling shades.
Together or individually, these patterns deliver the Wow factor in colors that are complementary but not exact matches as Ice is a one-step and Fire is a two-step manufacturing process. The designer will be able to find a correlating Ice color way, in either a lighter, darker or contrast tone, to work with the Fire palette. This is demonstrated in our product photography which features both designs.
Due to the scale of Fire, even with presentation boards, your designers will appreciate seeing Fire in a full yard for presenting the high impact of this exciting pattern. This design is guaranteed to get Oohs and Aahs.
Due to the nature of lenticular embossings, these luminescent wallcoverings capture and refract light differently from various angles, projecting visual interest and subtle movement. To facilitate installation, there is a direction arrow and a match point engraved in the selvage for Fire. Making contractors aware of this ahead of time can assist in installation.
Although not available as Second-Look®, Fire and Ice both meet low VOC requirements.
Proximity
A reference to nature’s ebb and flow, Proximity blends an under-print and embossing in a soft, undulating design suggestive of striated riverbeds, wind-swept sand dunes, underwater ocean currents and wafting wheat fields.

Sequence
Curvy continuous circles crisscross the wall in a contemporary tale from Versa™ called Sequence. The textile-like wallcovering uses soft sateen undertones to create the look of fine linen. The sequence of interlocking circles moves from light to dark, capturing a light-hearted visual movement. A fresh palette of 18 colors ranges from understated tone-on-tone to punchy reds, purples, aquas and coppers for accents walls. The low-VOC 20 oz., Type II sustainable wallcovering is standard with 20% recycled content from Second-Look® technology.
Manhattan Square

This exciting new design’s palette includes a total of 18 colors. First introduced in our Joseph Abboud® collection, 10 new color ways were added to the original eight. Seen by many as a woven leather, colors have been developed in that vein, ranging from creams and white, grays and rich deep accents.
