Velvet
The Velours category includes seating and textile elements with short, dense, oriented pile coverings. This fabric is characterized by variations in appearance depending on the light and the direction of brushing. Used on armchairs, sofas, benches or headboards, velvet modifies the perception of volumes by accentuating or attenuating certain areas. Its visual density makes it a structuring material, often used to stabilize a composition or enhance the legibility of a piece of furniture in a sober layout. read more >

Velvet as an envelope textile
Velvet is a woven fabric with an additional thread forming a cut surface, called a pile. This tightly-packed, oriented pile gives velvet a uniform but changing texture depending on the lighting and sense of touch. In furniture, it is mainly used to cover volumetric elements: seats, backrests, cushions, headboards. It hugs shapes without hiding them, while partially absorbing light. In this way, velvet can channel visual reading, densify an area or create a focal point in a layout.
Visual effects and usage according to context
Velvet offers a surface whose appearance varies with natural or artificial light. Depending on the orientation of the pile, certain areas appear darker or brighter. This produces a subtle relief effect on a simple volume. Darker colors enhance visual density, while lighter tones diffuse light. Velvet is particularly suitable for rest areas or reception areas, where it can mark a change of function. It is not well suited to high-traffic areas or outdoor use, due to its sensitivity to moisture and localized wear.
Material combinations and layout logic
Velvet combines effectively with smooth or contrasting materials: varnished wood, painted metal, polished marble. It brings a visual density and tactile effect that balances with cold or hard surfaces. In a living room, a velvet sofa can become the structuring element of an ensemble. In a bedroom, a velvet headboard marks the sleeping area without weighing down the space. The coherence of the layout is based on the continuity or break chosen with the other textiles present (linen, cotton, wool).
The *Velvet* category proposes pieces where the textile plays an active role in the perception of shapes and the quality of contact. The choice of this material must be considered in relation to light, use and the contrasts sought in the space as a whole.
