Gentle 2 is the only knitted stretch velvet upholstery textile on the market. Designed by Febrik, it
comes in a refreshed colour scale and combines an inviting presence with a sumptuous, soft pile.
The textile is constructed by knitting loops through a base layer and subsequently shearing the
surface. Thanks to a subtly striated surface which derives from the naturally irregular thicknesses
of the woollen yarns, Gentle 2 features a rich surface with an elegant shine.
Gentle 2 has a particularly opulent feel as it is laminated onto a 2mm thick base foam. This ensures
the textile stands out with a voluminous expression that sets it apart from traditional woven
velvets.
The updated colour palette neatly compliments Gentle 2’s soft, comfortable expression. It
comprises light pastels and clear bright hues, such as lavender, cream, tangerine and electric blue.
Suitable for public and private spaces, Gentle 2 offers excellent stretchability due to its knitted
construction. Consequently, it clings to curves in a particularly elegant way and is ideal for
upholstering organic shapes, as well as any other form.
