Life is messy, and so is sustainability. It’s a journey of progress, not perfection. As designers, we balance beauty and practicality, recognizing that a product’s purpose is inseparable from its design.
For us, that starts with TerraStrand, a proprietary vinyl-coated, polyester yarn that's been uniquely crafted to be better for people and the planet. Developed with renewable, recyclable, and soon to be regenerative content, TerraStrand yarn is the foundation of our textiles, creating a connection between our offerings and our mission that you can actually feel.
At our core, we believe thoughtful design can inspire meaningful change and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Chilewich was born in 2000 out of designer Sandy Chilewich’s passion for reimagining overlooked materials and underused processes to transform the way people around the world set their tables.
In designing textiles that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable, versatile, and easy to clean, we offer products that address a key element of sustainability: longevity.
Every Chilewich product is made to endure decades of daily use and to look good doing it, while conserving the resources required by machine washing and product replacement.
