Velvet: a timeless material

Velvet has truly established itself as a timeless material. It symbolizes the quintessence of elegance but also comfort thanks to its soft touch. Velvet comes back every year and never ceases to inspire furniture designers.

How to adopt velvet

Polymorphic, velvet is mainly found on living room furniture such as sofas, couches and armchairs. In small touches, it can be seen on bedspreads, plaids, cushions, poufs...
As you can see, velvet will easily find its place in a decoration that wants to be timeless.

Velvet goes equally well with organic materials (precious woods , linen, silk...) as with more industrial materials like brass or glass.

A bit of history

Velvet takes its name from the Latin 'Vilosus'. Although it holds an important place in garment making, this noble material is also used by designers as a furnishing fabric. Leading pieces in the world of design furniture are covered with it. Notably the Camaleonda sofa by architect and designer Mario Bellini or the Togo designed in 1973 by Michel Ducaroy.

Velvet: A Symbol of Elegance

Thanks to its glossy finish and the noble colors in which velvet comes in, this material allows you to create a refined atmosphere. In short, making your interior warmer with velvet does not require too much effort and is done with subtlety.
