TENCEL™ lyocell: the plant-based sister of silk that reinvents our nights
There are subjects that mark a turning point.
Not because they are new.
But because they finally reconcile softness, durability and elegance.
At CÉTOILE, we have long sought a material capable of engaging in dialogue with silk, without imitating it, without opposing it — but by extending it.
We found it.
It is called TENCEL™ Lyocell .
And that's the one we chose for our future bed linens.
A soft material… derived from plants
TENCEL™ lyocell is a textile fiber created from certified wood pulp (mainly eucalyptus, beech or pine), transformed by a clean, circular and responsible process.
Developed in Austria, this textile innovation is part of a quest for performance, care and sustainability.
But beyond its manufacture, what struck us was its feel .
From the very first tests, one thing became clear:
a silky freshness, an enveloping density, a breathable material.
Not an imitation. A unique sensation.
A vegetable silk , as we like to call it.
Why CÉTOILE chose TENCEL™
We wanted a material capable of conveying our vision of conscious luxury.
A material…
- gentle on the skin
- fluid yet structured,
- elegant without artifice,
- responsible in its impact.
And TENCEL™ lyocell meets all these requirements:
- 🌿 Sustainable : sourced from FSC® certified forests, produced in a closed loop
-
💧 Breathable & thermoregulating: cool in summer, comfortable in winter
-
🧼 Naturally hygienic: limits bacterial growth, ideal for bed linen
- 🛏️ Aesthetically elegant: fluid drape, dense feel, slightly satin finish
Natural silk & plant-based silk: a foundational duo
CÉTOILE now rests on a balance:
that between animal silk , living, sensual —
and plant-based silk , soft, durable, affordable.
Two subjects. Two languages.
One single requirement:
the invisible care taken in every detail.
🛌 Coming very soon…
Our first TENCEL™ bed linen sets are arriving very soon.
Colors designed for the night.
Understated finishes.
And this new comfort that you never forget once you've tasted it.
✨ Conclusion
This choice is not simply a matter of feeling.
We have chosen TENCEL ™ for everything it represents:
-
the search for a fairer textile,
-
the desire to innovate without sacrificing elegance,
-
and this conviction that well-being begins with the materials that surround us.
At CÉTOILE, we believe in materials that have meaning.
And TENCEL™ is fully part of it.
