The Dase and Rico seating series from Ferm Living acquires a new dimension in Poppy Velvet, a fabric that transforms these sculptural forms through the marriage of texture and restrained pattern. The velvet itself speaks in a language of tactile generosity: dense, soft handed and substantial, with a surface that invites touch in the way only true luxury upholstery can. Black flecks scatter across a warm, neutral ground with deliberate casualness, creating a visual rhythm that feels organic rather than formulaic.
What distinguishes Poppy Velvet from conventional patterned fabrics is its measured restraint. The flecks never overwhelm; instead, they animate the surface, catching light and shadow in ways that shift subtly as one moves through a room. Applied to the generous curves of the Dase chair, with its enveloping silhouette and rounded proportions, the fabric feels almost architectural. The Rico sofa, meanwhile, with its generous seat depth and sculptural rolled arms, becomes a composition of soft form and textured surface, inviting settlement and contemplation.
This is fabric with presence rather than proclamation. The neutral colourway reads with equal grace in minimalist interiors or layered, collected spaces. The weight and hand of the velvet ensures the seating forms hold their silhouette with authority, neither slouching nor stiffening. Poppy Velvet sits within Ferm Living’s broader design philosophy: Scandinavian clarity meeting tactile warmth, where function and form remain inseparable.
The collection is available through Ferm Living.
