Jacquard: Complex Patterned Fabrics for Interior Decoration and Contract Projects
Jacquard is a weaving technique that creates complex patterns and motifs directly within the fabric's structure, without the need for printing. Through a special loom mechanism that individually controls each warp thread, elaborate designs — florals, arabesques, geometries, damask — are achieved with a definition and richness of detail impossible to reach with conventional weaves.

This technique, invented by Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1804, revolutionised the textile industry and remains a benchmark in the manufacture of high-end fabrics for decoration and contract. Jacquards can be made from natural fibres (cotton, linen, silk), synthetic fibres (polyester) or blends, in variants including plain jacquard, yarn-dyed, sheer jacquard, pleated, double and triple cloth.

Jacquard in hotel decoration and the contract sector

Jacquard fabrics are a premium choice in hotel interior design and contract projects. Their ability to incorporate complex motifs within the fabric structure itself gives them a design durability that no printing technique can match: the pattern does not fade with washing or wear with use.

In luxury hotels and prestigious spaces, jacquards are used in curtains, armchair upholstery, headboards, cushions and bedspreads. Contract fabrics for hotel interiors in jacquard combine aesthetic sophistication with the technical resistance needed to withstand intensive hospitality use.

Fire-retardant treated jacquards comply with the most demanding EU fire safety regulations, with M1, B1, Class 1 and Classe Uno certifications.
