Calm textiles

Fabric hand, weight, and colour temperature shape how a room feels at rest. We curate linen, wool, cotton, and blends suited to Geneva humidity and seasonal sun exposure.

Touch and visual quiet

Busy patterns fight stillness. We work in tonal layers — stone, fog, river clay — with occasional contrast piping on cushions so seating reads clearly without shouting.

Natural fibres breathe better in un-air-conditioned Genevan summers than synthetics that trap heat against window-side chairs.

Local fabric choices

Eaux-Vives

Smaller windows favour lighter drapery stacks that clear the opening fully. We specify ceiling tracks discreet enough for Haussmann-era plaster cornices.

Plainpalais

Rental flats benefit from removable slipcovers and unfixed rug layers landlords accept. Neutral palettes help deposit returns at lease end.

Champel

Generous rooms can carry textured wool throws and double-width curtains. We balance richness with matte finishes so lake glare does not sparkle off metallic thread.

Care and longevity

We document wash temperatures and line-dry guidance for every specified textile. Swiss laundry habits vary; we choose fabrics that survive gentle machine cycles.

Replacements for retainer clients are logged so seasonal swaps stay colour-matched year to year.

Textile-only refresh

Re-dressing an existing calm room with new curtains, cushions, and rug starts at CHF 1,950 plus material cost. Works well after quiet corner furniture is already in place.
