Velvet, also known as velor, is a fabric with a soft, smooth surface and a densely woven structure. It is often used for furniture covering, clothing and other decorative applications. Velvet is characterized by the even and short stack (fiber loops) that lie on the surface of the fabric. This pile provides the characteristic softness and shine of velvet.
Velvet can be made from different materials such as silk, cotton, viscose or synthetic fibers such as polyester. It can give a luxurious look to furniture and interiors because of the rich texture and the way in which the light reflects on the surface. Velvet is often used for benches, armchairs, pillows and other pieces of furniture.
The choice of velvet as a furniture fabric depends on personal preference, the style of the interior and the intended use conditions. It can add an elegant and classic element to a space, but it is also important to note that velvet can be sensitive to wear and stains. That is why it may be necessary to provide regular maintenance and care to maintain the lifespan and appearance of furniture with velvet upholstery.
