4th May 2026 | IN PRODUCT NEWS | BY SBID Share Tweet Pinterest LinkedIn This Spring, Skopos is pleased to announce the launch of two new flame retardant, 100% recycled coloured voile collections, Shellen & Cove. As the demand for lightweight, sustainable window treatments continues to grow across hospitality, leisure, and workplace environments, these new coloured voiles offer specifiers an opportunity to blend elegance, privacy control, and essential fire safety. Inspired by mineral tones, Cove brings 15 sophisticated colourways, moving from soft, natural neutrals to warm spiced oranges. With its neat, uncomplicated appearance and delicate matt finish, Cove provides a subtle, yet impactful backdrop to complement a wide range of interior schemes. Shellen, in contrast, offers a softer coastal palette, enriched with a delicate raindrop-slub that brings depth and organic movement to the fabric. Together, the two collections give designers greater choice and options to add layers and gentle colour highlights into schemes. Skopos Recycled Voiles Beyond their aesthetic appeal, Cove and Shellen deliver significant practical benefits for contract environments. Both are woven from 100% recycled FR polyester, (GRS certified), and fully washable at 30°C, helping designers specify responsibly without compromising on durability. Their wide width constructions (327cm for Cove and 315 cm for Shellen) make them particularly suited to large window expanses, providing seamless, flowing drops ideal for hotels, serviced apartments, and communal spaces. Offering a valuable level of daytime privacy, particularly in hotel bedrooms, these new voiles are also a useful tool to gently reduce glare from the sun and enhance comfort, and provide a level of sound absorption, without blocking natural light. As layering continues to be a key interior trend, Cove and Shellen provide a versatile solution for adding depth and visual interest, whether used as standalone window treatments, sheer room dividers, or gentle backdrops in lobbies and lounges. Skopos voiles Cove and Shellen The two new qualities complement Skopos’ existing Essential Voiles and the more decorative options found within the Karoo collection, expanding Skopos’ offering of FR sheers for contract use. Samples of both Cove and Shellen will be available from early Spring. Designers can request loose samples or a full shade card of Shellen & Cove via the Skopos website at skoposfabrics.com or by contacting the team at [email protected].
