In the archives of the company Rubelli, stored in Venice, more than three thousand historical samples of textiles. According to these samples, masters recreate fabrics on old machines. The first commandment of a fashionable interior: fabrics in the upholstery of furniture should be applied contrary to tradition! That is, we boldly take the cloth from the era of Louis XVI and we wrap it with a modern chair from head to toe. This thing can not be overlooked.

Agree, classic Louis with a back medallion in flowers, ribbons and ears looks somehow too museum-like. But the same chair, but in catchy geometric patterns - unusual, interesting, relevant. In our compilation there are examples of how successfully modern fabrics “fall” on historical forms, and ancient fabrics lovingly clothe avant-garde furniture. It inspires both.

Looks great classic furniture models, "dressed" in costume fabrics - cell, strip, tweed. And if your interior requires something brighter, then you can, for example, take a velvet of a rich shade: emerald, mustard, plum. For the upholstery of classic furniture, be sure to choose the velvet of current contemporary colors. But if you like, say, traditional wine-red - it does not matter.

That he did not look in your chair as in a theatrical box, combine it! To do this, suitable patterned fabric companion - silk or velvet. On this way you will find many interesting discoveries - we promise.
