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. It’s your clearly defined go-to of core products that you know will always come in on price, leaving you ample room for more lavish inclusions.
Starting with eight ranges, mac essentials is not afraid of embracing a fun and quirky side with names such as Party On, Kick Back and Tokyo Pop. You can expect to find just what you need for projects of any scale or budget, all with a dash of verve and energy.
Under the mac+ umbrella, mac essentials renews the Macquarie Textiles’ legacy with a new generation of contract textiles for a new generation of design professionals.
