Description
Nature - an iconic theme at Le Jacquard Français - is reinventing itself this year with a touch of whimsy. Nature Urbaine celebrates regenerated plant life while spreading the energy and joys of spring. Lush flowers and leaves fill tables and terraces, making the most of the mild spring weather. The collection features an abundance of floral and geometric patterns, with 3D effects producing a defiantly dynamic outcome. The colours combine freshness with warm tones, like soft light falling on velvety grass. The ultimate in refinement, Nature Urbaine chair cushions, paired with table linen, bring comfort and cheer to your summer tables. The cushions are double-sided and available in three colours, with a floral or polka-dot pattern. You can mix and match them as you wish. Featuring British seams and high-density foam, we make every detail count to bring you the best quality. Made from TEFLONTM-treated acrylic, with removable and washable covers, the cushions are both sun- and weather-proof. With its many natural advantages (pleat stability, strength, low absorbency, speed of drying and resistance to UV light), acrylic is the ideal textile for outdoor use. To preserve our products' shine in a sustainable way, we use special outdoor dyes that are particularly resistant to light, chlorine and salt. We treat our outdoor products with Teflon? to protect them from stains and bad weather. This treatment prevents the absorption of liquids and allows you to easily clean your fabrics using a clean cloth or a soft brush, regardless of the substances that have been spilled. Treated products dry faster (25% to 40% faster than untreated fabric), are machine washable at 40°, and the effectiveness of the treatment is extended by heat regeneration of the resin (ironing and sun). Fewer washes at lower temperatures, less water used... our outdoor collections are eco-friendly.Material
THE STAGES OF CREATION OF OUR PRODUCTS
From the creation of the designs to the making, a Le Jacquard Français product requires 15 manufacturing steps, all carried out with the greatest care and an infinite sense of detail, before coming to dress your home: creation, lisage (translation of the creations into Jacquard language stitch by stitch), selection of the best quality cotton and linen yarns, countertyping of the yarn colors according to the trends of the moment (about 60 per year), yarn dyeing (preferably great dyeing), winding (to limit yarn waste), inking, warping and reuniting (to make the warp), knotting and weaving, piece inspection (quality control of the fabrics), ennobling, and finally making up and packaging.
Today, thanks to our 53 looms, we compose a large number of original designs at a rate of two collections per year. Weavers, knotters, warpers, gluers, stitchers are all trades and gestures exercised with passion and for generations in our factory in Gérardmer, which conceive for you the most beautiful creations of Le Jacquard Français.
