The Corsica Velvet
The short answerCorsica is SUPERBA's new short-pile velvet, in 14 colours. It is now available in our Made to Order formula on every SUPERBA collection, from sofas and corners to chairs and modulars, and swatches are free.
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.

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.
