A chenille fabric reinterpreted by Poltrona Frau in 5 exclusive colours. Shine is made from a simple and strong “canvas structure” that combines a weft yarn with an identical warp yarn. The chenille yarn is produced by weaving two yarns of different materials in spiral form: the stronger, thinner cotton that forms the core and the thicker and softer viscose which forms the “hair”. The yarn is quite thick and because of its “hair” is similar to velvet, and for this reason the same precautions must be taken. It is very important to be aware of the possible flattening of the “hair”, which is highly visible on dark colours. Over time the hair of the chenille yarn may flatten and be visible on the surface of the sofa. In this case it is possible to raise the “hair” by using a steam cleaner from a distance of at least 30 cm and lightly rubbing the damp surface with a very soft brush or by using a clean, damp cloth that doesn’t leave residues. Padded components must only be used when the cover is completely dr y. Delicately brush after drying. To reduce pressure marks it is a good idea to regularly brush the surface with a soft-bristle brush (e.g. a clothes brush).
