Silk: the Luxury Fibre in Fabrics for Interior Decoration

Silk (SE) is a natural protein fibre produced by the silkworm (Bombyx mori) as it weaves its cocoon. It is the only natural fibre that occurs as a continuous filament, giving it an unmatched softness, lustre and fineness. Silk is the noblest of textile fibres: lightweight, thermoregulating, with an exceptional affinity for dyes, and a drape and hand feel that no synthetic fibre has managed to replicate exactly.

In interior decoration, silk is used in high-end fabrics for curtains, upholstery, wall coverings and decorative accessories. Its natural lustre and ability to reflect light with changing nuances make silk a reference material in luxury interior design.
