ANTHURIUM

Brentano’s Spring 2024 Collection, Anthurium, is a compilation of textiles and wallcoverings woven into painterly layers. Named after the Anthurium plant with its painter’s palette flower shape, the collection is designed through the lens of an artist and showcases Founder Iris Wang’s deep love for painting and the wide breadth of artistic skill she brings to each versatile design.

Highlighting magnificent and lush fabrics, the collection features 4 outdoor velvets that create striking monochromatic design spaces. The collection also showcases Brentano’s first PVC-Free Type II wallcoverings, Guild and Lona. A new challenge for the team, the studio explored different mediums to create depth and painterly-like qualities. Through their pursuit of artistic growth, the 2 wallcoverings were born, bringing to life a world in which thick brushstrokes and whimsical layers of color transport one to impressionist-styled interiors.

A collection of palettes and expertly designed textures that enhance spaces and transform designs, the collection takes us on a journey celebrating the artists’ decorative and exquisite designs.

Melding the textures, shadows, and painter-like qualities in each piece, the designs in the Anthurium collection highlight a free-hand style of artistic expression. The 12 textiles and 2 wallcoverings are an adaptable selection of products that offer dimension, complex constructions, hours of design work, and focused attention to detail.

Acknowledging the growth and success of lively outdoor colorways in Brentano’s diverse span of outdoor textiles, Wang set out to introduce a “Color Neutral” line of hues. “I wanted to bridge the upbeat, vibrant colors of our current outdoor fabrics with distinguished “Color Neutrals”; colors I feel are a bit more tailored and adaptable for interiors both indoor and out,” says Founder, Iris Wang. “This new introduction of “Color Neutrals” generates fluid color connection throughout the collection and each of its patterns.”

9648 Hachure

Joining Brentano’s line of eco-friendly selections with 75% Recycled Content, Hachure is environmentally conscious and one of the collection’s most resourceful fabrics.

Passing Cal 117 with an abrasion resistance of 100,000 Double Rubs (Wyzenbeek, Cotton Duck) and a PFAS-Free Stain Repellent, Hachure is a sleek and sophisticated selection.

Highlighting a new age of color for the Brentano Design Studio, the 2024 color forecast diverts from bright, bold colors to more organic, found-in-nature hues.

Departing the cool blues from previous year’s forecasts, the six 2024 color selections bring warmth, and comfort with Auburn, Olive, and Taupe selections.

Practical, usable colors these “rustic retro” hues are relaxed and quiet while still maintaining intensity without being loud.

Brilliant Auburn – A darker color than previous forecasts, Terra Cotta and Sandstone, Brilliant Auburn moves towards a deeper red hue while departing from the orange of forecasts past. A rusty, shellac red with cooper finishes, Brilliant Auburn, is contemporary with distinct and tasteful variations of depth. Visually unique, Brilliant Auburn is a stylish and cozy compliment to design applications.

Deep Olive – Ranging in variation from sage to avocado, Deep Olive is a refined hue with comforting hints of yellow. Darker than army green and a touch cooler, Deep Olive is a modest color with biophilic characteristics that lend itself to the built environment as an adaptable anchor color.

Dried Leaves – Pulling inspiration from nature, Dried Leaves is a subdued version of Brentano’s Raw Amber. A lighter shade of brown with minimal hints of yellow, the color ranges from hints of bamboo to graham cracker. Use as the foundation for design spaces, adding pops of colors with fresh greenery and patterned textiles to enrich contrast and charm.

Driftwood Taupe – A diversion from brown, Driftwood Taupe warms design spaces with its silvery grey haze. A light taupe with an undertone of silver, Driftwood Taupe is a relaxed and inviting neutral, lending itself as a base for grey accents and finishes. A simple and reliable colorway, Driftwood Taupe is a timeless hue well-suited for many decorating styles.

Ground Ginger – Reminiscent of the sun reflecting off the sand on the shore, Ground Ginger is a fresh color selection. With clean and controlled saturation, Ground Ginger is understated with minimal vibrance and a natural straw color.

Using less red than other colorways, this balanced neutral adds romantic earth tones to modern interiors.

Weathered Teal – A trending neutral, Weathered Teal is a fresh and inviting color with quiet, reserved energy. Like a cup of mint tea, Weathered Teal is a refreshing, soothing take on natural leafy greens. A functional building block, this friendly green easily coordinates with a wide range of colors, pairing particularly well with Celadon and a wide array of blues.
