<p>"Comfort and design should not be compromised for eco-conscious choices. Thanks to many years of development, we're thrilled to have created a line that is as luxurious to the touch and easy on the eyes as it is responsible to the planet," said Portico President, <person>Gregg Haft</person>.</p>
