DEKOMA’s Flora collection draws on the variety of plant life for soft chenille fabrics, mainly jacquards, intended for upholstery and decorative textiles. A muted palette, together with patterns and textures drawn from nature, gives interiors a calm, harmonious character.
Different yarns and surface textures
Alongside chenille yarn, Flora uses combinations of yarn colours and thicknesses to produce varied textures and colour effects. The range extends from Melograno’s fruit and plant motifs, woven in soft chenille, to Pino’s classic herringbone with its mesmerising suggestion of movement. Grani has mottled knots, Semi soft, regular loops, and Semolino a coarse weave whose depth is emphasised by two shades of yarn. Their surfaces are as varied as the natural forms that inspired them.
Soft fabrics and a restrained palette
The softness of chenille and the collection’s subdued colours lend themselves to living rooms, sitting rooms and bedrooms. Used in these spaces, the fabrics create a warm, cosy atmosphere that soothes the senses and encourages rest. Pale beige dominates the palette, accompanied by light brown, white, grey and muted green. Navy, black, charcoal and dark brown provide stronger accents.
These neutral colours work with natural materials such as wood, leather, woven fibres and terracotta, as well as more austere finishes. Rich chenille textures can soften the feel of rooms with extensive concrete, steel, aluminium or glass surfaces.
Names drawn from forests, fields and orchards
The fabric names come from plants and trees. In Italian, Melograno means pomegranate and Pino means pine. Semolino is finely ground durum wheat semolina, Grani means grains or cereals, and Semi means seeds. Melograno, the most decorative fabric in the collection, interprets a botanical pattern in a contemporary way. Pino updates classic herringbone with differently coloured yarns that make the motif appear to ripple and move.
Grani resembles a cross between bouclé and smooth tweed. Its rich texture disguises small snags. Like other fabrics in the collection, Semi combines several shades of yarn and is particularly pleasant to touch, making it well suited to cosy spaces. Semolino’s coarse, pronounced weave gives it a rustic character, but it also works in contemporary interiors. It provides a neutral companion to the other fabrics in Flora.
Choosing fabric involves considering texture and where it will be used as well as colour. Professional advice can help coordinate it with the rest of a room. Find architects, interior designers and interior photographers in the PLNDesign directory.
