NEWH/Arizona Presents Tziporah Salamon



We had a wonderful evening with Tziporah Salamon as she shared her life stories through her amazing vintage clothing collection.  The committee did a wonderful job organizing the event, gathering sponsorships and raffle items, and selling tickeets to the event.  Thank you all for the support of our organization!

Flow...Tranquil, Watercolour Vista, from BOLON
A translucent warp allows the tonal color combinations to shine and provides a subtle glimmer to the floor. See the entire Flow collection from BOLON including the new Bolon Studio shape - Scale.

Flow Tide

Flow features two designs – Shaded and Solid. In Shaded, choose from Coral, Stream, Alga or Shell and in Solid, from Pearl, Shore or Tide. The collection is available as rolls and tiles as well as in Bolon Studio – where it is our first collection to use a new tile shape we’ve called Scale. Soft and rounded, the organic design has a form reflecting the natural, glistening beauty within the ocean. To further enhance the collections aesthetic versatility, every article in the collection can be combined beautifully without adhering to strict pattern based laying or compromising design integrity.

Look beyond appearances and further beneath its hypnotic surface and Flow offers an exciting new innovation. The bottom layer of the collections backing is made of recycled material from our own onsite recycling plant – a process that results in the end product compromising up to 33% recycled material. In addition, like every other Bolon collection, Flow is phthalate free.
