Strength Meets Sustainability In Carnegie’s Crush Collection

We find ourselves wanting to pass notes in study hall about the fetching fabrics composing Carnegie Fabrics’s Crush collection. The textiles, though varied in aesthetic, share qualities of strength and sustainability. Monochromatic Mood, made with new and recycled Trevira in seven colorways, marries a velvety hand with a geometric relief to forge an inviting textural contrast and sense of depth. A trio of patterns woven of Sunbrella solution-dyed acrylic and polyester are bleach-cleanable, durable, and lightfast—as well as Greenguard Gold–certified: Sculpt’s interlocking hexagons come in three colorways; Discovery is a graphic exploration of scale and curvaceous repeats; and Fable brings layered, abstract florals to the mix. carnegiefabrics.com
