Our contribution to the green design movement is the PARA-SPEC software platform. Created for the contract industry, specifically companies that offer custom lines of pattern finish products, PARA-SPEC allows specifying designers to create custom combinations of color and pattern outside of preselected colorways.


Originally developed for the Fortune Contract custom carpet program, we are now offering PARA-SPEC to other producers in the contract industry interested in lowering sampling costs, decreasing lead time and improving the environmental impact of their products.


Specifying custom products is often a process of trial and error requiring a multitude of strikeoffs and fair amount of guess work. PARA-SPEC is a custom software platform that allows manufacturers of custom contract products such as flooring, wall covering and furniture to provide specifying designers with a tool for combining color and pattern options in realtime. This in turn increases creativity and lowers sampling costs. When designers can visualize their color and pattern choices combined, they can quickly determine the best combinations.
