Bouclé

Bouclé fabric has become a prominent trend in furniture and interior design over the past year in Sweden. Using bouclé to upholster furniture and sofas is not only stylish but also practical due to its durability. The defining feature of bouclé fabric is its textured surface, which reveals small knots or loops upon closer inspection.

FAQ

What materials are used in by Crea® furniture?

by Crea® primarily uses steel, solid wood, and selected upholstery materials.

Steel is used for frames where structural stability is required. Solid wood is used where material thickness and load-bearing strength are critical.

Upholstery materials are selected based on durability, cleanability, and long-term performance. All materials are chosen for daily use rather than decorative effect.

Why does by Crea® use steel frames instead of lighter metals?

Steel is used because it provides predictable strength and long-term stability.

Steel frames:

  • resist deformation under daily load
  • maintain tight tolerances over time
  • support slim proportions without compromising strength

Lighter metals would require thicker profiles to achieve the same durability. Steel allows both structural reliability and minimal visual weight.

How are upholstery materials selected?

Upholstery materials are selected based on measured durability and maintenance requirements.

Key evaluation factors include:

  • abrasion resistance
  • color stability
  • ease of cleaning
  • suitability for daily seating

Materials are tested for consistent performance over time. Visual qualities are considered secondary to functional reliability.

Are by Crea® materials suitable for commercial environments?

Yes. Many materials used by by Crea® meet or exceed requirements for public and commercial use.

Steel frames and durable upholstery materials are suitable for:

  • restaurants
  • cafés
  • offices
  • shared spaces

Material choices are not separated into “home” and “commercial” categories. The same standards apply to both.

How do material choices affect product lifespan?

Material selection directly determines how long furniture can be used.

Steel and solid wood structures support long-term load without fatigue. Durable upholstery reduces surface wear and premature replacement.

Some models allow replacement of upholstered components. This extends the usable life of the product without replacing the full structure.

Materials are chosen to support decades of use, not short-term cycles.
