BOUCLÉ BLISS
It’s official: Bouclé is here to stay. From Coco Chanel’s world-famous jacket in the 1950s and designer Eero Saarinen’s fashioning of the Womb Chair for Florence Knoll to everything from curtains, cushions and couches in 2024, boucle isn’t going anywhere.
French for ‘curl’ or ‘loop’, bouclé is an upholstery fabric characterised by its nubby, almost fleecy appearance, from the little loops in the yarn. Whilst commonly made from wool fibres, you can also find the textile in linen, cotton and even silk. It’s known for its cozy, textured look and adds a touch of sophistication to any space.
Neutral colours like beige and cream are dominating bouclé fabric choices. These hues create a serene and timeless ambiance in interior spaces, making them feel inviting and cozy. Designers have found the material paired perfectly with curved shapes, another trend that is showing no sign of stopping, manifesting in rounded edged sofas and shapely accent chairs.
