In addition to the name of the fabric “Capitone”, there is also such a thing as the Capiton style. What is it?
Translated from French, the word capitonner means “to upholster furniture.” The capitonné technique originated in France in the 18th century. It is a furniture upholstery in which buttons are stuck in a certain order into a soft, thick material, creating convex elements. This technique was very popular among the French nobility. It later spread throughout Europe. In Russia, this technique was used to decorate the interior of the carriages of noble persons and was called a “carriage screed.”
Nowadays, the capitonné upholstery technique does not lose its popularity. It looks very luxurious, very practical and comfortable. Especially if you use natural or artificial leather as the upholstery material. This technique is used to make headboards, sofas, poufs and wall panels. She still looks luxurious.
