Velvet Weave

Velvet is a pile-woven fabric characterized by a dense, evenly cut pile surface that creates a uniquely soft hand and distinctive light-catching quality. Traditional velvet weaving involves two layers of fabric woven simultaneously on a special loom, then cut apart to create two pieces of velvet. This ancient technique, perfected in medieval Italy and the Islamic world, produces one of the most coveted and luxurious textiles in interior design history. In contemporary interiors, velvet has experienced a remarkable renaissance, moving beyond traditional formal applications into modern, eclectic, and even casual settings. The fabric's ability to absorb and reflect light creates a dynamic, living surface quality that changes throughout the day, making it one of the most visually engaging upholstery choices available. From jewel-toned velvet sofas to muted velvet curtains, the weave brings depth, luxury, and tactile pleasure to any space it inhabits.
