The Fabric as Language
Where Textiles Shape Identity and Space
GUBI has always been fascinated by the profound sensory power of fabrics. We believe that textiles are more than just materials; they are the foundational elements of a tactile language, sending messages about identity, lifestyle, and culture through color, pattern, and texture. In this sense, upholstery is fashion for furniture; fabrics shape the mood and aesthetic of our spaces.
Fustagno – velvet-soft contemporary cotton.
Fustagno is a modern 100% cotton alternative to classic velvet, exclusively developed for GUBI and woven in Italy using an eight-shaft satin weave for enhanced texture. Combining relaxed French elegance with refined Italian craftsmanship, this versatile fabric offers a naturally inspired yet versatile color palette—from soft neutrals and earthy tones to bold accents—making it a timeless, velvet-like choice for contemporary living.
Reales – cool and cotton-fresh
Handcrafted in Italy exclusively for GUBI, Reales is a 100% cotton textile that captures the essence of summer. Its distinctive grosgrain weave enhances the natural material, offering greater chromatic depth and a refined texture compared to plain weaves. The versatile palette ranges from soft, muted tones to bolder shades, enabling both subtle elegance and striking contrast. Combining durability, breathability, and a refined aesthetic, Reales brings versatile freshness and understated sophistication to contemporary interiors.
