The designers at Carnegie Xorel Studio have created Outdoor Biobased Xorel for Carnegie Fabrics, a line of plant-based fabrics that are free from chemical and toxins for a more sustainable, environmentally friendly design.
For its innovative design, Outdoor Biobased Xorel has recently been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Carnegie Fabrics expanded its line of critically-acclaimed plant-based fabrics, Biobased Xorel, in late 2022.
The new Outdoor Biobased Xorel collection will deliver beauty, performance, and sustainability simultaneously.
Outdoor Biobased Xorel is the first and only indoor/outdoor textile to achieve Cradle to Cradle Gold and Living Product Challenge certifications.
This new innovation successfully leverages the exceptional performance and beauty of Xorel with the versatile application capabilities of a knitted textile.
UV-engineered for outdoor upholstery, the revolutionary textile meets the demands of a variety of industries including commercial hospitality, dining, healthcare, workplace, and education.
With 85 percent biobased PE content, Outdoor Biobased Xorel outdoor yarn is resourced from rapidly renewable sugarcane and has a significantly lower environmental footprint versus fossil fuel-derived products.
It is breathable, non-absorbent, weather and fade resistant and, due to its yarn’s inherent properties, is the most durable and easily maintained textile on the market.
With no added finishes, coatings, or chemistry required to perform, it is inherently stain resistant, colorfast, antibacterial, wear-resistant.
It can even be aggressively cleaned with bleach for deep cleaning and disinfection.
It is also free of chlorine, plasticizers, heavy metals, toxic dyes, and ozone-depleting chemicals.
