Henry Calvin Fabrics
	The irregular circular shapes of High Life bring to mind midcentury modern motifs crossed with microscopic discoveries. This viscose-polyester blend comes in five happening colorways: Blue Lagoon, Bloody Mary, Purple Passion, Salty Dog, and Martini. 2046 Lars Way, Medford, OR 97501; 888-732-1996. www.henrycalvin.com

Carnegie
	Ancient inspiration gave rise to the company's two latest fabrics, which speak not only to the past but also to the present. Sanscrit translates the early Indian and Hindi language into an intricate small-scale pattern. Abstracted botanical shapes inform Fossil, a rayon-wool blend available in seven colors. 110 North Centre Avenue, Rockville Centre, NY 11570; 516-678-6770. www.carnegiefabrics.com

Pollack
	For a fabric called Tranquility, there's a lot of drama in this lustrous silk-and-wool selection. A vibrant gemstone palette sets the stage for a distinctive geometric pattern of hexagons inscribed in circles. Available in six reversible colorways. 150 Varick Street, New York, NY 10013; 212-627-1218. www.pollackassociates.com

Textus
	Designed by Hazel Siegel, Glimmer looks like a fabulous foil wrapping paper-but it's sturdy enough for contract use. Available in 15 metallic colors, among them copper, gold, and black patent. 580 Broadway, Suite 305, New York, NY 10012; 212-343-9858. www.memosamples.com

Brunschwig & Fils
	Exotic without being outré, Les Touches is an animal print with enormous appeal-couturier Geoffrey Beene once enveloped an entire room with it. This fall marks the third time Les Touches has made an appearance in the collection. In its most recent incarnation, the pattern has been printed on a sturdy cotton available in four colors. 979 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022; 212-838-7878. www.brunschwig.com

Boussac Fadini
