Crushed velvet's irregular pile is what gives it that shifting, shimmering surface. The same fabric can look almost silver in direct light and much deeper in shadow, which is why it photographs so differently depending on the room. It suits wingback and sleigh frames particularly well, since the larger surface area shows off the light-catching effect.
Available in a range of rich colourways. It's a fabric that rewards a statement approach: pair with metallic or mirrored furniture rather than trying to tone it down.
