The mac essentials brand wants to let you mix and match textiles for your next project. Just like the best wardrobes have a versatile mix of practical and savvy pieces, mac essentials offers a smooth and efficient selection process for any project.
“We were inspired by the fashion industry and its idea of a buildable and interchangeable staple wardrobe.
“The beauty of having a core range of products that are all interchangeable is that it can be immensely time-saving; we understand the pressures on today’s designers means that time and cost are two key decision-making factors,” explains Helen Thomson, Commercial Division Manager at mac+.
mac essentials allows you to build your projects resourcefully with a complete range of textiles; from upholstery and screen to wall covering. You can rest assured that all the ranges under the mac essentials brand will come in at less than $50 per linear metre.
mac essentials creates time-saving simplicity. When considering that we live in an age of über productivity – from hacks to stay focused, to tech gadgets that trim the amount of time spent on certain tasks – any time that can be saved on a project is more than just a plus. Wrapped up in this mode of thinking is the old business adage ‘work smarter not harder’, and mac essentials delivers simplicity and productivity into your textile specification.
As a designer, you’re bombarded with choice. So much so, that sometimes the endless array of choices can be overwhelming when making your finishes selection on a project. mac essentials distils your needs into a simple, cost-effective and buildable palette of commercial-grade textiles.
