Fustagno

Developed exclusively for GUBI, Fustagno is a modern alternative to a classic velvet, woven in Italy from 100% cotton. A variant of fustian – a highly durable type of fabric used in Europe since the medieval era – Fustagno replaces the traditional wool weave with an eight-shaft satin weave that enhances its full-bodied texture. With its distinctive depth and softness, Fustagno balances the relaxed elegance of French interiors with the refined craftsmanship of the Italian textile tradition. The result is a versatile and invitingly tactile fabric that recreates the richness of velvet for modern living. Fustagno’s considered color palette spans nature-inspired neutrals, deep earth tones, and bold accents, offering a range of upholstery options – from subtle and serene to vibrant and attention-grabbing. Fresh and enduring, refined and timeless, this is a velvet-like fabric for the present day.
