Fabric

Élitis upholstery fabrics grew from our desire to release new vibrations in design by combining traditional skills with innovative techniques. In the world of designer textiles for interior and exterior decoration, our fabrics stand out for their unmistakeable attachment to boldness, unexpected combinations and great artistic freedom. Whether you want to upholster a seat, fit out a boat or make a curtain, the decorative uses of our fabrics are vast:

• Fabrics for seats, sofas, armchairs, ottomans
• Fabrics for curtains and linings
• Voiles for curtains
• Fabrics for blinds
• Nautical fabrics and marine upholstery
• Fabrics for cushion and sofa covers
• Fabrics for outdoor use

Choosing the right textile for a decoration project will not only depend on its intended use, but on the following characteristics :

• Fabric colour
  The subtlety of the colours and the shades of colour are sought so they are as close as possible to the creative project. Since our earliest days, colour and the search for new shades have been an integral part of our DNA.
  
  
• Fabric pattern
  Patterns or styles can be plain or false-plain, geometric, floral, line drawn, ethnic, vegetal, animal, striped or dotted. There are no limits to Élitis' original creations and we are constantly pushing the visual boundaries of textiles.
  
  
• What the fabric is made from
  The material is of paramount importance and the fabric may be composed of a single or a mixture of, mostly natural, materials such as linen, our signature material, cotton, silk or wool. Other materials can be used in the composition of our fabrics, especially for metallic effects.
  
  
• Fabric performance
  If the intended use of the fabric has technical constraints, Élitis offers textiles that meet Contract requirements such as fire retardancy, IMO, anti-stain washable, eco-friendly, acoustic, outdoor or Trevira CS.
  
  
• The fabric manufacturing technique
  Each Elitis fabric has a specific manufacturing technique, using skills such as embossing, chenille, printing, jacquard, satin, weaving, braiding, stonewash, velvet, etc. We work with handpicked workshops that we know well, able to offer us the superior technical skills that our textile creations require.
