Activewear that's made of sweat-wicking materials, like spandex or polyester, is great for pulling moisture away from your body so you feel dry and can continue on with your workout. But the problem with these types of fabrics is that although they pull sweat away from you, they still trap odors within the material itself. That's why thoroughly washing your workout clothes is so important, and I love using Persil's dedicated Activewear Clean Liquid Laundry Detergent to get activewear clean.

The collaboration brings together Designtex's deep expertise in high-performance contract textiles and nanimarquina's poetic command of craft, tactility, and the beauty of the imperfect.

"We did that by using performance yarns and intentionally embedding imperfections into the weaving process."

Although modular sofas have been around for decades, they're really having a moment right now. To help you navigate the wide range of options, we spent months testing modular sofas in our own homes - we lounged, worked, napped, and entertained guests on them. Through wine spills, cat scratches, and hours spent binge-watching TV, we put our couches through the wringer to see how they held up to everyday living.
