Velvet and Linen: Division of Two Soft Materials

A set of vintage French textiles with distinct material roles. Velvet is used for small areas on antique furniture: the seat of a Louis armchair is a gray-blue short pile, with variations in shade under light; linen is used for large areas on contemporary furniture: the sofa is an off-white washed linen, with natural wrinkles on the surface. The colors of both are similar, but one has a sheen, the other is matte.
Avoid: using velvet for large sofas making them heavy, using printed and jacquard fabrics, adding decorations like lace and tassels, stacking many throw pillows.

一組質地分工的復古法式織品。絲絨用在小面積的古董家具上:一張 Louis 單椅的座面是灰藍的短絨,絨毛在光下有深淺的變化;亞麻用在大面積的當代家具上:沙發是米白的水洗亞麻,表面有自然的皺褶。兩者的顏色接近,但一個有光澤、一個消光。避免:讓大面積的沙發使用絲絨變得厚重、使用有印花與提花的布料、加入蕾絲與流蘇等裝飾、堆疊大量抱枕。
