Milton Babbitt was an avant-garde 20th-century American composer, celebrated for his work in serialism and electronic music. He constructed his compositions using a 12-tone matrix—an intricate grid with no tonal center or key focal point. This new Brentano addition is aptly named in his honor, featuring a striking grid motif that echoes the composer’s structural approach. The result is a dynamic, contemporary plaid pattern woven into the fabric’s design. Crafted from plush polyester chenille to create a velvety quality with a Synthetic Latex Backing, Babbitt offers a soft hand and minimal sheen. Its grid-inspired design comes to life in 8 notable neutrals, including Bear Canyon and Pueblo. Perfectly scaled, Babbitt is a swoon-worthy choice for hospitality headboards or as a statement sofa fabric in residential interiors. Chenille yarns elevate its luxury appeal, adding dimension and resilience that resists crushing, outperforming traditional velvet in upholstery applications. With durability of 100,000 Double Rubs (Wyzenbeek, Cotton Duck) and an optional Non-PFAS Stain Treatment, Babbitt is a textile that we hope would make Milton himself proud.
