TENCEL™: the plant-based silk that is changing the way we sleep

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, circular and responsible 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 sensation.

A plant silk , as we like to call it.

Why CÉTOILE chose TENCEL™

We wanted a material capable of carrying our vision of conscious luxury.

A matter…

gentle on the skin
fluid but structured,
elegant without artifice,
responsible in its impact.

And TENCEL™ 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 proliferation, 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.
Only 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.
Simple 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 have chosen 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 this.
