Gustav

Gustav is an attention-grabbing stripe, a vibrant and bold statement for any room. Despite its Swedish heritage, Gustav has an undeniably English character, bringing to mind the smart boating and cricketing blazers worn by dapper chaps mingling on the lawn at summer parties along the banks of the River Thames! 

The surface feels tight and canvas-like, and looks very neat; however multiple ‘faults’ have purposefully been woven in, running parallel to the stripes. These subtle ladders, ‘dents’ and weave disturbances pleasingly break up the otherwise extremely uniform appearance, and will add a softening visual effect to the fabric when used over large expanses, such as on big family sofas. 

The reverse side offers a completely different look and feel. Shot heavily with the unevenly sized navy blue weft yarns, the bold contrast of the stripes is greatly softened, and a more rustic and bumpy texture evokes a fabric woven on a hand loom.
