Brentano’s Symphonic Collection Creates Visual Representations of Songs

Chicago, IL, February 02, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Before developing the Symphonic collection, Brentano Design Director Iris Wang reflected on time spent teaching art to children where she played music and asked them to illustrate the sounds of melodies. Moved by their creations, Brentano’s spring 2013 collection focuses on the beauty of a classical symphony. Symphonic 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.

In a collection inspired by the beauty of a classical symphony, Brentano’s new, romantic patterns provide a range of harmonious textiles for residential, contract, and hospitality interiors. Coloratura, a stunning abstract upholstery, voided-velvet Marimba, and polished Gliss are all durable enough for commercial applications but 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.

The 100% viscose upholstery Tempo is also ideal for residential environments, combining an elegant, two-tone epinglé pile with a satin weave in the ground to create a dramatic, geometric pattern. This unique construction has a boutique quality, making the 52” upholstery perfect for a special accent or a bold statement piece.
