From velvet to texture, from texture to story.

We developed our own surface treatment by screen printing layers onto velvet, semi-drying each application before building the next. The fabric is then pushed through an intense heating process that almost burns through the surface, creating a cracked, evolving texture that becomes more luxurious over time.

A process rooted in experimentation, tactility and transformation.
