At the time of our mothers and grandmothers, this material was called panbar and they sewed evening gowns and theater curtains from it. Now he has replaced the noble prefix of the panna with the non-romantic definition of “wet” and began to be used as furniture upholstery. There are memories ... The theater is not the only possible association with velvet. No less interesting is the velvet country (couch, Bagnaresi Casa [2]) and velvet glamor (sofa Sunset [1], designer Roberto Lazceroni, IPE-Cavalli; couch, Sufren [3]). To attract attention, it is enough even one velvet detail (sofa Ever Green, Busnelli[4]). Velvet - one of the attributes of luxury. Apparently, therefore, it is so organic in the company of gold and fur (pillow, Fine Form Italia [5]).
