FAQ

Every BroCoLoco piece begins with curiosity and craft. Whether you’re a designer specifying a new project or simply exploring, we’re here to help bring texture, artistry, and warmth to your space.

  • Each work is crafted from natural fibers — primarily cotton and jute — with select accent cords made from post-consumer recycled textiles. Our approach is low-waste, chemical-free, and rooted in natural beauty and tactile warmth.

  • Yes. Sustainability is built into our process — not as a trend, but as a principle. We use recycled garment-industry cottons, organic fibers, and biodegradable components whenever possible.

  • Our rope and textile works are designed for interior use. While several installations exist in open-air tropical settings, we don’t formally recommend exterior exposure. All cottons are fire-treated with a natural, salt-based retardant and can be moisture-guarded upon request.

  • Yes. Every BroCoLoco piece is treated with a mineral-based, chemical-free Class A fire retardant made in the USA. Optional moisture and stain guards are also available.

  • Yes. The natural rope fibers and recycled cotton sound batts used in many designs significantly reduce reverberation. Materials have been lab-tested for acoustic absorption, though full-room ratings may vary by installation.

Materials & Sustainability

  • Absolutely. Every piece is made to order and can be tailored to your palette, dimensions, and mounting needs. Our modular system makes scaling and adapting easy for designers.

  • Currently, our collections focus on natural and recycled fibers to align with our brand ethos. However, we’re actively exploring sustainable synthetic alternatives for select environments and hospitality clients.

  • Each piece is made to order — eliminating excess inventory and waste. Offcuts are reused in smaller products, samples, or modular panels, ensuring nearly every material finds new purpose.

Customization & Craft

  • Most panels arrive ready to mount and include clear specifications. For large-scale or custom works, we provide detailed drawings and remote or onsite coordination with your contractor or GC.

  • We occasionally take on up to five large-scale custom installations per year (typically over $100K). These projects often involve our artisans traveling to ensure creative integrity and precision.

  • Most standard pieces ship within 8–10 weeks. Large-scale or bespoke projects may take 12–20 weeks. Rush production is sometimes possible — reach out early to secure your timeline.

  • Yes. We frequently ship to design projects around the world — including island resorts, Europe, and the Middle East. Modular construction allows for efficient freight or parcel shipping.

Installation & Logistics

  • Yes. We can provide 2D and 3D files to help integrate our products into your plans, specifications, and presentations.

Design Collaboration

  • BroCoLoco began as shorthand for The Brothers Company Art Ventures — a creative partnership founded in D.C. Over time, the name evolved into its own expression: one that stands for collaboration, curiosity, and creative spirit.
