Brentano to Show Color, Pattern at HD Expo

Chicago, IL, March 20, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Brentano will show their true colors at the Hospitality Design Expo in May. The textile house will debut dramatic new fire retardant draperies from the upcoming fall Affinity collection — in addition to the heavy duty upholstery, outdoor and novelty fabrics expected from Brentano. From geometrics and stripes to organic shapes modeled after tree bark and gingko leaves, all of the fabrics have two things in common: They’re bright! And they’re Brentano.

“We looked at the new Affinity patterns and colors, and these were the ones that popped,” says National Sales Manager Jeff Frank of the orange, teal, purple and blue palette planned for Brentano’s seventh consecutive appearance at the HD Expo. “In some ways the process reminded me of how the Design Studio came to the Affinity collection in the first place. There are so many influences on their design process — art, nature, Asian cultures, Chicagoland and, of course, textiles and yarns — but when we pull them together, they’re all Brentano.”

Brentano will exhibit in space 3605 throughout the HD Expo, May 14–16.
