Like our traditional VELVET, the COTTON VELVET will add an inviting look to your furniture. Where the ‘normal’ VELVET is very rich, the COTTON VELVET is more sophisticated with subtle, elegant sheen as well as a soft drape and feel. The COTTON VELVET comes from Italian fabric house, Redaelli Velutt – a heritage company that has been crafting luxury fabrics since 1893. Choose COTTON VELVET for ultimate luxury.
Fabric characteristics
Light creases are to be expected as your new furniture is setting in. All materials display this characteristic adding beauty and uniqueness to your piece of furniture. The extent varies depending on cushions and your choice of fabric.
Maintenance
Regularly vacuum the fabric. Dust will increase the wear and tear on a product. In order to protect fabrics from acid in body sweat, we recommend cleaning the entire piece of furniture that is exposed to direct body contact at least twice a year. By applying the BoConcept Protection products, you can prevent the risk of stains and dirt penetrating the fabric. Heavily used areas such as seats, arm and backrests require more frequent care.
Velvet will look different from one angle to another as the fibres catch the light differently. This colour play/iridescence can be mistaken for ‘spots’, but it is the natural characteristics of a chenille fabric and is therefore not a case of faulty fabric. All velvets are subject to pressure marking. This must be accepted especially on areas of the fabric subjected to preferential use. Pile flattening may be restored to some degree by gently steaming and brushing with a soft brush to ‘lift’ the pile. Avoid vigorous brushing as this could result in permanent damage.
Avoid placing furniture in high-humidity areas as it may result in mould, discolouration and quality deterioration. Contact with alcohol, thinner and benzene/benzole will cause colour and quality deterioration. Also avoid contact with chemical materials such as paints, nail polish or nail polish remover. Jeans and colourful clothes may discolour light fabric surfaces.
