PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Sven fabric by Elitis with a nubby basket weave
Sven fabric needs no pattern: the weave itself tells the story. Flat, round bundles of yarn lie side by side in a basket weave, held in place by finer threads. Up close, you can see each individual nub. From a few metres away, the texture merges into a finely speckled surface. It is a fabric you want to touch, precisely because the surface has such distinct relief. With it, Elitis has created an upholstery fabric for those who want calm without it ever feeling flat.
Colours of Sven fabric: from ecru to mottled taupe
In colourway 2, everything is cream. The nubs and the connecting threads share the same ecru shade, so the texture speaks mainly through light and shadow. Colourway 5 works differently. Off-white nubs sit on greige threads, giving the surface a light, mottled depth and bringing out the weave more sharply. There are also colourways 21 and 47, so you can choose from four variants. Sven is part of the Prestige 4 fabric collection by Elitis.
Elitis fabric for cushions, sofas and window seats
In the lifestyle photo, the fabric covers a seat cushion in front of French doors, with two bolster cushions and dark piping along the edges. The piping draws a crisp line around the calm weave. Alongside striped curtains and a light wall, Sven fabric stays in the background, while the nubs stand out clearly in the side light from the window. On a sofa, a headboard or loose cushions, this understated texture works just as well.

Maintenance of curtain and furniture fabrics
To keep your curtains looking beautiful for a long time, regular and careful maintenance is important.
Avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, as this can cause discoloration over time. TIP! Make sure your curtains are lined; this protects the main fabric.
For light soiling, you can freshen up the fabric with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use cleaning agents or excessive water. Always treat stains carefully and test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area of the fabric first.
Recommended maintenance products:
For curtain fabrics we recommend James products:
- James Interior Cleaner – suitable for both natural and synthetic fabrics. Ideal for freshening curtains without damaging the fiber structure.
- James Stain Wonder – helps remove stains, for example from contact or air pollution.
Apply the product to a white terrycloth towel, not directly onto the fabric, and dab gently. Let the fabric dry naturally, preferably out of direct sunlight.
Maintenance of furniture fabric
Furniture fabrics such as chair, sofa and cushion covers require regular care for a long life and a fresh appearance.
Vacuum the surface weekly with a soft brush attachment to remove dirt, hair, and dust. Rotate cushions regularly to prevent uneven wear and tear, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
In case of stains, it's important to act quickly: blot immediately with a clean, slightly damp cloth (do not rub). For safe and effective cleaning, use James products, specially developed for upholstery fabrics:
- James Interior Cleaner – freshens furniture upholstery and removes light soiling without damaging the fibers.
- James Stain Wonder – ideal for removing stains caused by drinks, food remains or pets.
For a thorough cleaning or to remove stubborn stains, it's wise to have the fabric professionally cleaned. This will keep the fabric beautiful, supple, and fresh-colored.
