In the world of Design, the art that defines the aesthetics of living, Alcantara has always interpreted and adorned a variety of indoor and outdoor environments, adapting to every style thanks to its technical qualities and infinite possibilities for aesthetic customization: in prestigious interior design items such as sofas, curtains, lamps, and walls; in sophisticated contract applications such as hotels, offices, and boutiques; in exclusive settings of yachts, airplanes, and private jets.

The Crocus model is embellished with a delicate decoration, in the shape of a stylized flower, made with metallic screen printing. Crocus is available in Lavender color with pearl printing, Teal (petroleum green) with gold printing, Nile with silver printing, and Navy with bronze printing.
