Benartex – Echo by Ann Lauer

ECHO – the graphic whisper

With Echo, Ann Lauer has designed a collection that speaks softly but makes a loud impression. Fine, organically flowing lines resemble sound waves, fingerprints, or shadows in nature – and the design moves exactly between these: modern, rhythmic, meditative. The fabrics are perfect as textured fillers but are also strong enough to shine solo. Whether as background, accent, or calm point – Echo brings depth to the project without imposing itself.

Available in a wide color palette from subtle to bright, the series offers the right tone for every mood.

Dark Blue – profound & elegant

If dark blue is the new black, then Echo – Dark Blue is the textile counterpart to midnight: rich, mysterious, and incredibly stylish. The fine line structure almost looks like light reflections on calm water – subtle and exciting at the same time. This shade brings depth to any patchwork project and is the ideal choice for those who like it elegant but not boring.

Whether modern or classic – Dark Blue adapts while always remaining confident. And: Its textured surface is significantly less prone to dirt than a smooth solid color.
