SYMPHONIC - spring 13

Brentano’s spring 2013 collection is inspired by the beauty of a classical symphony. The Symphonic collection embodies the emotions of music to create visual representations of song. By seeking to emphasize sensation rather than form, Symphonic offers 19 romantic patterns that provide a range of harmonious textiles for residential, contract, and hospitality interiors.

While all Brentano fabrics strive to strike a balance between beauty + performance, this collection brings out high-performance textiles that are usable and fresh. Lively upholstery Polka offers an energetic, small-scale pattern while also being well-priced, 100% bleach cleanable, and finished with both Nano-Tex and DuraBlock. Maestro is a suede-like polyester chenille available in 9 usable colors that offers a great hand for a fantastic price while also exceeding 75,000 double rubs.

Adding to their Brentano Green collection, Primal is an eco-friendly polyurethane that has been printed with a bold animal print and comes in 8 fashion-inspired colors. Remix takes its cue from the innovative Brentano fabric Pavé and uses a casted effect that simulates the appearance of a woven textile but cuts the cost, all while remaining a greener alternative to leather.

The new patterns offer current and emerging colorways, including the stunning grey and green combination in Bravo’s Citron + Ice colorway or the periwinkle and mauve shades found with Coloratura, a stunning abstract upholstery, and the voided-velvet upholstery Marimba.

In addition to their stunning color options, both Coloratura and Marimba are durable enough for commercial applications but undeniably sophisticated enough for residential spaces. The luxurious Medley is purely residential, with a luxe hand from a combination of chenille yarns that create a subtly playful zigzag pattern.

While developing the Symphonic collection, Design Director Iris Wang reflected on when she taught art to children, playing music and asking them to illustrate the sounds of lyrical or syncopated melodies. With this collection, the Brentano Design team has come up with their unique, tangible representations of the feeling of music. So press play and enjoy the symphony of colors, textures, and endless possibilities.
