Momentum’s Wellness Suite Collection Brings Hospitality Warmth to Healthcare

The vocabulary of hospitality, with its tactile surfaces, warm woods, and earthen tones, has found a new dialect in healthcare. Smoky hues now temper the palettes of hospitals and clinics, and bedside lamps and sofas lend patient rooms the ease of a guest suite, a migration the trend forecaster WGSN charts in its 2026/27 report on therapeutic spaces. The forecaster ties the movement to mounting strain on health systems and to research suggesting that soothing environments can lower stress and aid recovery.

Momentum draws on this design language for its Wellness Suite Collection, whose hallmarks include bouclé and chenille yarns, timber grain laced with marble veining, and coastal ombrés. Its range extends from PVC-free coated textiles and Crypton® performance wovens to carbon-neutral Circon™ wallcoverings and a privacy curtain. “The Wellness Suite Collection reflects a broader shift we’re seeing across healthcare and wellness environments,” says Paul Cleary, President and CEO of Momentum. “Patients, residents, guests, and caregivers increasingly expect spaces that feel warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Our goal is to help designers create environments that deliver an elevated experience while meeting the rigorous performance and sustainability requirements of healthcare settings.”

Drawn From Nature
Momentum found the collection’s motifs in the finer details of the natural world, abstracting the variation among blades of grass, the crossing of leaves and branches, and the shimmer of moving water into imagery meant to calm and restore. “Those influences transformed into patterns that feel organic and layered, allowing the softness and tactility of the materials to take center stage,” says Linsay Bittinger, Senior Designer, Textiles, at Momentum.

The Bio Silica Hybrid coated textiles, made from a PVC-free blend of 24 percent silica and 76 percent bio-based polyurethane, arrive in three new designs: Grass Line, which takes its cue from uneven natural fibers and handworked finishes; Alcove, which traces the crisscross of branches; and Herring, a classic herringbone printed with the depth of a weave. Two Crypton® performance wovens bring hospitality’s comforts to upholstered furnishings: Grounded, which combines bouclé, slub, and chenille yarns into a gently worn, dimensional surface, and Heddle, whose space-dyed yarns blend into fine striations with a supple hand.

Around the Room
Circon™, the company’s bio-based, carbon-neutral, and recyclable wallcovering platform, carries the collection onto the wall in three new patterns. Velato sets a herringbone against a ground reminiscent of cotton and linen, Oakstone blends wood grain and marble veining built from high-resolution scans, and Palomar lays a refined grid over hues of hemp and flax.

WGSN’s report also points to curtains and woven materials as gentle dividers that offer privacy without closing a room off. Clear View, the collection’s privacy curtain, takes on that role with a full-scale ombré inspired by the horizon, offered in six coastal colorways ranging from pale neutrals to shades of sea and meadow. “The color palette draws from natural landscapes, with soft, grounded hues inspired by river rocks and the pigments found across different environments,” says Bittinger.

Built for Care
For Momentum, each material had to be as durable as it is beautiful and tactile. The Bio Silica Hybrid textiles pair easy cleaning with a lower-carbon coated construction, the Crypton® wovens carry an integrated barrier against moisture and stains, and Circon™ incorporates more than 70 percent bio-based, rapidly renewable content and is certified Low-VOC. “Beyond the look and feel, sustainability and exceptional performance were non-negotiable in the development of these products,” says Bittinger. “We incorporated materials and innovations such as our Bio Silica Hybrid construction, SEAQUAL yarn made from recycled ocean plastics, and Crypton moisture-barrier finishes. The goal was to create products that bring a more restorative, hospitality-inspired feel to healthcare spaces while still meeting the demanding performance requirements of these environments.”

Momentum debuted the collection at NeoCon in June, and Cleary sees its future reaching past the hospital: “We see growing opportunities in senior living, wellness destinations, behavioral health, and med spa environments where design can play a meaningful role in comfort, dignity, and healing.”
