Brentano Portfolio Collection Adds Strength to Beauty

Chicago, IL, September 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Residential fabrics get tough in Brentano’s performance-minded Portfolio collection. By combining sophisticated color and a soft hand with durability, these new upholsteries exemplify the Brentano belief in beauty + performance.

The seersucker-inspired stripes of Chantal, the matalassé of Cable Knit, and the luxuriant ombre of Crescendo offer pattern and texture without sacrificing strength. Chantal comes in 9 fresh colorways, including a fashionable lavender and sherbet, while Cable Knit offers 4 cool colors combined with a comfortable hand to create a cozy upholstery. Crescendo builds on the existing Brentano Green collection, using a luminous bamboo-viscose chenille in the weft. And best of all, each of these beautiful upholsteries pass or exceed 50,000 double rubs.
