Hyphyn Biodegradable Vinyl Expands with Vida and Cypress

Two brand-new pat­terns have debuted in the Hyphyn® Biodegrad­able Vinyl uphol­stery col­lec­tion. Join­ing the pre­vi­ous­ly intro­duced Mesquite and Pet­ri­chor, Vida and Cypress cel­e­brate reuse and the con­sid­er­a­tion of a product’s entire lifecycle. 

Cypress fea­tures an authen­tic leather-like emboss and a col­or line full of nat­ur­al tanned and warm neu­tral tones, and rich, dyed shades. The look harkens to heir­loom leather bags and jack­ets that can last for gen­er­a­tions when prop­er­ly cared for. Vida, a beau­ti­ful, mul­ti-lay­ered print on a can­vas-like emboss, was inspired by the phe­nom­e­non of upcy­cled cloth­ing — specif­i­cal­ly, old sari gar­ments trans­formed into bomber jack­ets. The exclu­sive pat­tern inter­prets the designs used on sari fab­ric, the rhythms of the sashiko stitch­ing used in the upcy­cling process, and even the foot­print that wear leaves on the reused fabric. 

Vida and Cypress reflect the same con­sid­er­a­tion of prod­uct life­cy­cle inher­ent to all Hyphyn biodegrad­able uphol­stery tex­tiles. Hyphyn is a coat­ed uphol­stery prod­uct that, while in use, per­forms to the same high stan­dards as Wolf-Gordon’s oth­er vinyl uphol­stery tex­tiles. Thanks to a pro­pri­etary enzyme embed­ded in the vinyl and back­ing, how­ev­er, Hyphyn biode­grades 90% in an anaer­o­bic land­fill envi­ron­ment at the end of its use­ful life, leav­ing behind inert gas­es and non-tox­ic biomass. 

Explore Vida and Cypress for high-per­for­mance design with a low envi­ron­men­tal impact.
