SPARTANBURG, S.C.—The Specialty Interiors business of Milliken & Co., a leading global innovation company with performance and protective textile, specialty chemical and floor covering expertise, announces the continued growth of its eco-elegant performance upholstery fabric collection, Breathe by Milliken. For Spring Market, Breathe by Milliken will be featured in the new King Hickory Showroom.
King Hickory selected four colors of
the Breathe by Milliken denim fabric that is 100 percent cotton. Offering
the ultimate in sustainable and elegant performance, this luxurious fabric
combines design and durability with family-friendly stain protection. King
Hickory chose this specific fabric to satisfy customer demand for greener
products featuring minimal chemistry.
According to Deitra Smith, King Hickory Director of Merchandising, “Breathe by
Milliken was appealing to us because it addresses a performance category that
is virtually untapped. There are customers opposed to performance finishes
with chemicals of concern; Breathe gives them a healthier option.”
Breathe fabrics are unique because
they have a plant-based water-repellent that is durable, repels everyday stains
and cleans easily without PFCs, fire retardants or other potential chemicals of
concern. Breathe by Milliken fabrics have also earned GREENGUARD GOLD certification,
ensuring that they meet strict chemical emissions limits, enhancing the indoor
air quality of living spaces. This collection also sets the standard for
elegant performance, giving an extra measure of beauty, comfort and peace of
mind to consumers and furniture manufacturers alike.
“Combining luxury, performance and environmental benefits, Breathe by Milliken
represents an important leap forward in upholstery options,” said Jennifer K.
Harmon, Vice President of Milliken Specialty Interiors. “As interest in the
collection continues to grow, we have to expand our line to include more
cottons and cotton-linen blends in the colors, patterns and textures people
desire most.”
