Goodfellas fabric by Dedar: Strength, art and velvet in perfect harmony

Dedar’s Goodfellas fabric is no ordinary upholstery fabric – it is an expressive work of art on textiles. Woven in a rich, dense cotton-linen velvet, the fabric depicts the stylized silhouette of a boxer with tensed muscles and raised gloves. The image seems to have come straight out of a modern Pompeian fresco or a visual scene from Scorsese’s Raging Bull.

The engraved lines in the surface represent both strength and elegance. They are fragmentary and graphic, as if cut into the velvet with a chisel. The result is a fabric that is both raw and refined, and that continues to captivate the eye.

Craftsmanship and expression in jacquard

The figures in Goodfellas are not printed, but woven in a jacquard technique, which gives depth and durability. The texture is tactile and the drawing comes to life through the use of subtly mottled yarns. The combination of cotton and linen gives a matt sheen and a natural look, while the velvet provides a soft, luxurious hand.

This structure makes the fabric not only visually impressive, but also extremely suitable for upholstery with impact.
