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.

TOM DIXON BOUCLE
This selection of boucle fabrics was chosen for its soft, voluminous and elegant characteristics.
Boucle combines polyester and polyacrylic yarns, which have been twisted and spun to create
a beautiful upholstery fabric. Made first by creating loose loops around a core yarn, bouclé
yarns are a popular choice in furniture fabrics, as they are suitable for loose covers and easily
upholstered on tight fitted models. The texture of boucle is formed by the varying size of loops,
from large and loose curls to small and tight circlets. This flatwoven, yarn dyed quality is
washable at 30 degrees machine wash.
