Brentano Collection Looks to Life’s “Most Basic Building Block”

17 new fabrics inspired by relationships with water

Chicago, IL, February 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Brentano’s spring 2012 Back to Basics collection embraces water, the most basic building block of life, in several ways. Whether it’s by utilizing advanced green technologies to produce eco-friendly textiles, turning to manufacturers with proven water conservation practices, or by featuring natural and simple patterns in pastoral colors, all 17 textiles ask that we consider what is vital to good design.

Brentano expands their outdoor fabric offerings with Al Fresco, Plein Air, and Zinnia, each of which stands up to the elements while offering an array of fresh colors. Plein Air has a double beam construction and is woven from polyethylene and polyester to create the look of rattan. Color and texture combine with an antibacterial finish to make this pattern ideal for outdoor café settings. 100% high energy-dyed polyester Zinnia maintains the same botanical pattern of Brentano classic Dahlia but offers strong lightfastness as well as Teflon and antibacterial finishes to make it the perfect outdoor print.
