Brentano Takes Upcycling to the Next Level With its Latest Textile
How’s this for clever? The 10-inch vertical repeat of the shapely geometries inspired by the neo-deco trend on Renata, a new chenille by Brentano founder and artistic director Iris Wang, subtly telegraphs the contours of a plastic water bottle. In turn, that hints at the textile’s composition: an eco-friendly material known as Seaqual Yarn, made of 10 percent upcycled marine plastic retrieved from oceans, beaches, and rivers and 90 percent post-consumer recycled plastic.
