TENCEL™: the plant-based 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 dialoguing with silk, without imitating it, without opposing it — but by extending it.
We found it.
It's called TENCEL™ Lyocell .
And it is this one that we chose for our future bed sets.
A soft material… from plants
TENCEL™ is a textile fiber created from certified wood pulp (mainly eucalyptus, beech or pine), transformed through a clean and circular process.
Developed in Austria , this textile innovation is part of a search for performance, care and durability.
But beyond its manufacture, what struck us was its feel .
From the first tests, one thing was clear:
a silky freshness, an enveloping density, a material that breathes.
Not an imitation.
A unique feeling.
A plant silk , as we like to call it.
Why CÉTOILE chose TENCEL™
We wanted a material:
– gentle on the skin,
– fluid but structured,
– elegant without artifice,
– responsible in its impact.
And above all, a material capable of carrying our vision of conscious luxury .
🌿 Sustainable : sourced from certified forests, and produced using a closed-loop process
💧 Breathable & thermoregulating : cool in summer, comfortable in winter
🧼 Naturally hygienic : less prone to bacteria, ideal for bed linen
🛏️ Aesthetically elegant : fluid drape, dense feel, slightly satiny finish
Natural silk & vegetable silk: a founding duo
CÉTOILE is now based on a balance:
the one between animal silk , living, sensual —
and vegetable silk , soft, durable, accessible.
Two subjects. Two languages. One requirement:
the invisible care given to every detail.
Coming very soon…
Our first TENCEL™ bedding sets are coming very soon.
Colors designed for the night,
sober finishes,
and this new comfort that we never forget once we have tasted it.
Conclusion
This choice is not just a matter of sensation.
We chose TENCEL™ for everything it embodies :
the search for fairer textiles,
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 an integral part of that.
