Our collection now includes decorative pillows, and large floor cushions-poufs. These not only enliven the interior of children's rooms but also beautifully complement luxurious living room decor!
But before we delve further into this fabric's charm, let's explore its history:
Bouclé fabric is typically crafted from wool, cotton, or synthetic fibers. Its name is derived from the French word "boucle," which means "loop." Bouclé fabric boasts coarser, uneven, and textured patterns, making it ideal for a variety of garments and interior details.
Bouclé fabric gained immense popularity in the 1950s when French fashion designer Coco Chanel began using it in her collections. Chanel created the bouclé suit, which became her signature piece and remains one of the most sought-after items bearing her iconic brand.
Today, bouclé fabric is not limited to the world of fashion; it has found a prominent place in interior design as well. It is frequently used in the production of chairs, sofas, pillows, and rugs. The design of bouclé materials is both contemporary and classic, making them versatile for various interior design styles.
Bouclé fabric was even utilized in one of the furniture pieces designed by architect and designer Eero Saarinen - the "Womb Chair," introduced in 1948. This chair was designed to be ergonomically comfortable, offering the utmost in relaxation. Its top was upholstered with bouclé fabric, giving it a unique and comfortable surface. The "Womb Chair" has become a symbol of modern and elegant furniture, suitable for both private and public use.
In conclusion, bouclé fabric, with its rich history and timeless appeal, has rekindled its popularity in contemporary fashion and interior design. It adds a touch of sophistication and comfort to your surroundings, making it a perfect choice for both chic children's rooms and luxurious living spaces.
