I’m not sure how it happened but I’ve got that song stuck in my head for a couple of days and that led me to a compulsive research on velvet.
Velvet has a great tactile feel. What I enjoy the most is that unique morphing characteristic. Velvet flows, and shifts like water. You can literally leave an impression on the fabric simply by changing the direction of the pile with your hand. It pulls you to engage and change the way it looks, what other fabric does that?
I fell in love with the idea of a blue velvet sofa or a set of armchairs, it reminds me of the sea in wintertime. I’m thinking of something with a classic and clean design, something that is opposed to the rich and opulent feel of velvet. I always love a good contrast.
