Cento

Cento is made of 100% high-quality virgin wool and therefore fully recyclable. Its bouclé appearance and three-dimensional structure create a lively surface texture with a voluminous granular feel. The wool fabric has a thermo-regulating effect and is resistant to dirt. The colours of Cento are inspired by nature and its hues. The warp in either black or white is combined with coloured weft threads to create fresh and elegant tones. Cento is the result of joint development efforts by Vitra and rohi. Thanks to its material purity and ecological use of resources, the sustainable fabric has been awarded the EU Ecolabel. Owing to its superior technical properties, the fabric is also suitable for public areas exposed to medium footfall, such as hotels and lobbies. Cento is available in 14 colours.
