Elegant textures
Coarsely woven fabrics have a strong quality and feature beautiful, inviting textures that catch the light and awaken the senses. A coarsely woven fabric is better at concealing small colour differences and stains than a flat woven fabric and is blended with both natural and synthetic fibres for superior durability.
Vilme is made in Italy from exclusive European yarns and of course is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified. The fabric has a rustic weave with luxurious softness and a beautiful, clear structure with a subtle interplay of colours – perfect for creating a soft and tactile expression in your interior design.

Three words that give you the best quality
Martindale, pilling and light fastness inform you about a fabric's durability. We use them to make it easy for you to see which kind of furniture fabric suits you and your needs.
-
Martindale
-
measures the abrasion resistance of a fabric and ranges from 10,000-120,000, with 120,000 being the highest abrasion resistance. As a rule of thumb, the abrasion resistance for hard wear should be above 20,000, but in normal daily use an abrasion resistance of up to 10,000 is more than enough. The abrasion resistance of our upholstery fabrics ranges from 20,000 and up to 120,000 martindale. Fabrics with a martindale above 80,000 are suitable for use in public places such as airports, restaurants and similar.
-
Pilling
-
is the term for the small balls of fabric that form on the surface of a fabric as a result of friction and which give the fabric a furry appearance. There will always be some natural pilling at the beginning until the excess fibres have gone. Pilling is evaluated on a scale of 1-5, indicating the risk of pilling or loose fibres. 5 is best and our furniture upholsteries are always at least 3.
The fastest and cheapest way to remove pilling is by using a small electric textile shaver designed for this purpose. -
Light fastness
-
describes a cover's ability to withstand sunlight. Nylon and cotton usually have a low light fastness, while wool, acrylic and polyester have a higher light fastness. The scale is a doubling scale, which ranges from 1-8, where 8 is best. The higher the light fastness, the better the cover is at withstanding sunlight without losing colour. However, it is a good idea to keep furniture away from direct sunlight. Some covers will fade faster than others, indicated by the light fastness. We recommend that you don't choose an upholstery fabric with a light fastness below 3.

Caring for your coarsely woven upholstery
We recommend that you impregnate your upholstery fabric to ensure it stays beautiful for years to come – and that you repeat the treatment a couple of times a year, or as needed. Our series of care products has been specially developed for our upholstery fabrics.
Coarsely woven fabric is easy to maintain – for general cleaning, we recommend regular vacuum cleaning with a soft furniture brush. Brush in the direction of the texture of the fabric and not too hard.
