What is Bouclé fabric?

The name “Bouclé” comes from French and means something like “loop” or “curl”. That describes the fabric pretty well, because its typical surface is created by small loops and knots that give it texture and volume.
Bouclé fabric for furniture is usually made from cotton, wool or synthetic fibres and impresses with its soft feel and special texture.

The fabric originally became known through the fashion world – above all Chanel. The fashion house made Bouclé the epitome of style and texture with its famous tweed jackets. Today, the iconic material is moving from the Paris catwalks straight into our living rooms and symbolises modern comfort: elegant, cosy and incredibly versatile.

Bouclé now has its place at mokebo too: on selected products such as the neck cushion 'Der Leseknochen', the seating ball 'Der Runde', the bean bag 'Snug' and the bean bag 'Doze'. All of them come in on-trend earth tones – forest green, grey, taupe and natural – bringing the modern Bouclé look into your home with no fuss.

Why is Bouclé so popular?

Bouclé is perfectly in tune with the times. We are looking for furniture that radiates a sense of security and still fits stylishly into our homes. The fabric looks soft without being twee and gives every room a touch of “cosy luxury”.

Another plus: Bouclé fabric feels warm without overheating. That makes it ideal for the cooler months and still pleasant all year round.

Bouclé vs. corduroy: two trend materials compared

If you know mokebo, you know: corduroy is one of our signature materials. And soft Bouclé is its elegant sister. Both fabrics are soft, robust and cosy, but look completely different:

• Corduroy adds texture with fine ribs: retro, casual and urban.

• Bouclé is all about small knots: natural, soft and elegant.

So if you can't get enough of corduroy but fancy a change, Bouclé furniture is the perfect addition. The two fabrics look especially beautiful mixed together, e.g. a Bouclé cushion on a corduroy bean bag.

Interior ideas with Bouclé

Bouclé suits almost every interior style, whether Scandi, minimalism or modern chic. Here are a few ideas for using Bouclé fabric for furniture in style:

• Bouclé armchair as a statement piece in the living room

• Seating ball with a Bouclé cover at the desk for a soft contrast

• Bouclé cushions or pouffes for a cosy interior update

The four modern mokebo colours – natural, grey, taupe and forest green – combine wonderfully with each other and go just as well with materials such as wood, metal or corduroy.

Care instructions for Bouclé fabric

Is Bouclé fabric easy to care for? Yes, if you treat it right:

• Vacuum regularly to remove dust and crumbs.

• Dab stains instead of rubbing, ideally with a damp, soft cloth.

• Don't worry about signs of use: small irregularities are part of the look.
  

That way your Bouclé furniture stays beautiful for a long time, whether it's a sofa, armchair or cushion.
