When Paris was in high school she admits she wasn’t the best student or daughter to her teachers or family. She was selected alongside 11 other students to participate in our Project K programme.

"I got a bit nervous because this wasn’t my crowd but I ended up becoming really good friends with them and ended up becoming an unspoken leader, like a leader but without being told that I was the leader...

“I’d never been put in a leadership position before so for that to happen to me I thought it was kind of breath-taking to be honest.”

What’s the deal with Bouclé?

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean (Hawkes Bay Chem-Dry)

If you are into interiors, you have no doubt noticed the growing number of cushions, bedding, and upholstery covered in this wondrously tactile fabric. If you are seeking dimension and texture, then bouclé is the fabric for you.

If you are into interiors, you have no doubt noticed the growing number of cushions, bedding, and upholstery covered in this wondrously tactile fabric. If you are seeking dimension and texture, then bouclé is the fabric for you.

Bouclé – pronounced ‘Boo-clay’ comes from the French word bouclé, meaning “to curl.” With its extremely nubby, looped yarn, this fabric can be used in many applications and although traditionally woven from wool or mohair, it is now produced in cotton, linen and even silk yarns.
Bouclé refers to both the yarn and the fabric made from the yarn. Known for its interesting visual texture and super-soft touch, there is no doubt that this interior textile is in high demand for residential and commercial schemes.

THE BOUCLÉ RESURGENCE: This hardy fabric is most often seen in white or cream and provides a modernity to any space. The soft handle makes it ideal for curved furniture and it is loved by mid-century enthusiasts, while it’s plushness is equally relished by cushion addicts. The current resurgence of bouclé proves the market just loves a super tactical fabric.

Bouclé also speaks to our current megatrends of nostalgia and escapsim which are a natural evolution of the earlier trends of calm sanctuary and maximalism.

The Key Points:
• Highly tactile and dimensional fabrics such as bouclé are extremely popular and are very forgiving once upholstered as their height hides stitching details or visibility of what lies beneath.
• The bouclé structure suits volumetric, round furniture and is in line with the trend of visual optimism, whilst also having a more feminine design aesthetic.
• Bouclé speaks to the enduring affinity for 1970s interiors, and suits both maximalist and minimalist inclinations.

Grand Bouclé: Grande Bouclé by Catherine Martin by Mokum is a weighty and dimensional bouclé upholstery, influenced by our nostalgia for the 1970s. Woven in Italy in a mix of natural and synthetic fibres, Grande Bouclé has a soft, luxurious handle and tailored finish. The light acyclic backing adds further weight and prevents movement on loose cushions. Grande Bouclé has been coloured in three perfect neutrals and is part of our forthcoming Catherine Martin for Mokum collection, inspired by her current film project.

STAUNCH: Staunch extends the colour palette of James Dunlop’s Atmosphere, from the Fusion collection. This yarn dyed bouclé offers soft tactility and dimension to both lineal and curved furniture...

This will likely get taken down as promoting my business, but it’s not, exactly.

I’ve been teaching my self how to build a website, and I need feedback from people who use phones, tablets, computers etc to surf the web.

I need to know if my website is easy to navigate, easy to read, easy to understand and use, or not. And I need people, other than my friends and family, to tell me what’s what.

Could you please, if you have a couple of minutes, take a look at my website and send me some feedback, either via messages through here, or via one of the website contact options (if they all work as they should).

My website is re-new.nz

It’s been a live work I’m progress, for months, but after today, I’m really hoping it’s just right, for people other than me. My fingers and eyes need a break.

Thanks, in advance (especially the Neighbourly team, if they don’t pull my post. And especially specially if they give me some feedback) 😉.
