Velvets

Velvet is a type of woven tufted fabric in which the cut threads are evenly distributed, with a short dense pile, giving it a distinctively smooth and luxurious feel.

Sofas upholstered in a velvet fabric typically maintain a plain colour however Velvet fabrics incorporating patterns are available.

Swatches are available for all cover options upon request. Please note that slight variations in colour may occur between the fabric sample and the finished product.

Chenille

The chenille yarn is manufactured by placing short lengths of yarn, called the "pile", between two "core yarns" and then twisting the yarn together. The edges of these piles then stand at right angles from the yarn’s core, giving chenille both its softness and its characteristic look. Chenille will look different in one direction compared to another giving a vibrancy and magical quality to any sofa upholstered using this fabulous fabric.

Swatches are available for all cover options upon request. Please note that slight variations in colour may occur between the fabric sample and the finished product.

Textured Plains

Textured plain fabrics encompass a wide range of designs which incorporate small intricate detail woven into a plain background.

Swatches are available for all cover options upon request. Please note that slight variations in colour may occur between the fabric sample and the finished product.

Prints

Woven from mainly 100% cotton or linen in smooth plain finishes, prints are a popular choice to make a bold statement and highlight your sofa collection as the centrepiece of any room.

Swatches are available for all cover options upon request. Please note that slight variations in colour may occur between the fabric sample and the finished product.

Flat Weaves

Flat weaves comprise woven fabrics with no pile, often plain or Jacquard designs.
