NEW YORK, NY — February 3, 2025 — Carnegie, a provider of sustainable textiles and acoustical management solutions for the commercial industry, proudly announces Carnegie Siltech Plus, a part of the An Ode to Textiles collection. Siltech Plus is the first high-performance coated upholstery fabric on the market that’s available in a bio-based version.

Siltech Plus features bio-based polyurethane-coated upholsteries made with corn starch. Combining sustainability with superior performance and cleanability, Siltech Plus prioritizes extreme durability, hydrolysis, bleach cleanability, stain resistance, and comes with a 10-year warranty. Backed with 100% post-consumer recycled polyester, this collection includes:

  • Bouquet Print: A fresh take on botanical patterns with gestural strokes and illustrative movement, available in six colorways.
  • Elysees Print: A stylish plaid design in 5 vibrant colorways.
