Bouclé is a French word derived from boucler: to curl or ringed.
While traditionally made from wool or mohair, modern bouclé can also be crafted from cotton, silk, linen, or synthetic blends like polyester.
Eero Saarinen famously used bouclé in 1940 for his iconic Womb Chair (checkout the teal bouclé Womb Chair we reupholstered on our grid!) and Coco Chanel popularized it in high fashion for tailored suits and jackets in the 1950s.
Do you have a piece we can revive in a cozy, bouclé texture?
