Brentano Uses Dynamic Patterns and Durability to Create Stylish Performance Textiles

Crypton and Crypton Green products increase wearability of patterned upholsteries.

WHEELING, IL, April 15, 2011

For the exciting new upholsteries Kinetic and Flourish, Brentano turned to Crypton and Crypton Green finishes to add increased durability and cleanability to these high-performance fabrics. Additionally, both textiles offer energetic patterns perfect for healthcare, corporate, and higher education interiors seeking visual interest.

The medium-scale, geometric print of Kinetic offers a fresh take on plaid that is ideal for office chairs, lobbies, and waiting rooms, while the large-scale pattern of Flourish has areas of contrasting matte and lustrous sheen, making it suitable for healthcare and hospitality interiors requiring a high-end look. Both measure 54" and pass 95,000 double rubs (Wyzenbeek). Because it is woven from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester and is finished with Crypton Green, Kinetic is also part of the expansive Brentano Green label.
