Origin of the Material
Since founding in 1917, complex metal fabrics have been designed, engineered, fabricated and crafted. Architectural has been developed from the industrial wire cloth business of Cambridge International. The company introduced its esthetical attractive flexible metal fabric product in the mid-1960s. However it was not until 2001 that Cambridge Architectural was created, as architects demand for this product increased heavily.
