Fiore is a fabric created from chenille yarn and two-colour irregularly twisted yarn. The chenille yarn is made of shiny viscose, while the other is a matte composition of cotton, flax and synthetic fibres. The aforementioned contrast creates an unusual effect, additionally accentuated by a highly distinctive pattern of soaring floral petals. Its very high grammage attests to the quality of the fabric, and the deep colours of the chenille fibres accentuate its refinement and attractiveness.
Fiore is a definite feature, especially recommended as a small piece of furniture such as an armchair or a pouffe, cushions.
Despite the natural fibres, the fabric retains high technical parameters. OEKO-TEX certified.
