A velvet made for real life

Velvet has always meant colour you can sink into and a sheen that changes with the light. Corsica keeps all of that, and adds one thing that matters more than most people expect: a short pile.

A short pile means the fibres stand close and even. Corsica is a velveteen with a soft, brushed finish: plush and substantial to the touch, with a gentle velvet feel, and easy to clean.

Four fabrics to choose from

Corsica joins our three standard fabrics. Every one is made to order, on every collection.

Corsica is one of our four standard fabrics, so you can have it on any sofa, corner, chair or modular in the range. Pick the shape, the size and the seat you love, then choose Corsica and your colour. We make it for you.

Caring for your velvet sofa

  • Weekly: vacuum with a soft brush attachment and plump the cushions.
  • Spills: blot straight away with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub. If a mark stays, use a dry stain remover.
  • Refresh: a soft clothes brush, worked gently in one direction, keeps the pile even.
  • Sunlight: keep it out of strong direct sun, which fades any fabric over time.
  • Always follow the care label. For the full routine, see our care booklet.
