Brentano is thrilled to be recognized among the prestigious firms selected for the 2024 i+s Product Innovation Awards (PIAs), an honor that celebrates exceptional commercial solutions blending beauty, functionality, and innovation. These awards, presented by i+s magazine, are dedicated to products, projects, and people that push the boundaries of design, and Brentano’s work is a shining example of this ethos.
Brentano’s Beautiful Species sister fabrics—Bower, Calathea, and Lotus—received well-deserved acclaim for their groundbreaking approach to sustainability and material innovation. These fabrics are not just visually stunning, but are also at the forefront of a new wave of eco-conscious design. Their creation leverages advanced recycling techniques that go beyond traditional methods, allowing for the reuse of materials that would typically be discarded, and reducing the environmental impact of production.
What sets these fabrics apart is not just their eco-friendly construction, but their ability to redefine what’s possible in textile design. No longer constrained by the limitations of manufacturing processes or cost restrictions, Bower, Calathea, and Lotus showcase a future where sustainability and luxury are not mutually exclusive, but instead work hand in hand to create functional, beautiful, and responsibly produced materials.
At Brentano, the mission to “design with purpose” has always driven the company’s innovation, and this recognition from i+s magazine affirms the company’s leadership in shaping the future of sustainable design. The Beautiful Species fabrics represent the next chapter in a commitment to advancing not only the aesthetics of commercial interiors but also the environmental integrity of the materials used in their creation. This award is a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence and sustainability that defines Brentano’s work.
Bower is a stunning addition to Brentano’s Green line of eco-friendly textiles, designed to elevate any space with its striking texture and vibrant color palette. Crafted from 100% Post-Consumer Solution-Dyed Polyester, Bower is a fabric that combines sustainability with style in a way that’s truly groundbreaking. The inspiration behind Bower comes from the remarkable bird species known for creating elaborate nests out of upcycled materials—much like these fabrics, which weave together sustainability and beauty in perfect harmony.
Calathea is a striking addition to Brentano’s eco-friendly collection, made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Solution-Dyed Polyester, alongside its sister fabrics Bower and Lotus. This fabric takes sustainability to the next level, offering a perfect blend of environmental responsibility and luxurious design. Calathea’s unique construction features Mélange yarns, which create a subtle gradient shading effect, adding a sense of depth and movement to the fabric. The soft gradation throughout the textile is a visual delight, transforming any space with its sophisticated characteristics.
Made from 100% Post-Consumer Recycled Polyester, Lotus is a testament to Brentano’s commitment to sustainability, turning what would have been waste into a beautiful, functional material. Beyond its eco-friendly origins, Lotus is also bleach cleanable, ensuring that it maintains its pristine look even in high-use areas or after a mishap.
This fabric offers the perfect combination of artistry and practicality. Whether you’re designing a serene retreat, a bold feature wall, or accent pieces for a commercial space, Lotus delivers a unique, sustainable solution that brings beauty and purpose to any environment.
