Jacquard fabrics are one of the most recognizable types of fabrics on the market. Besides being easily distinguishable, their unique jacquard weave is what makes them so distinctive. This weave is achieved through a loom process designed to make each warp thread rise independently of the others. The design is not printed on the fabric, but rather integrated into the fabric itself. The word "jacquard" is derived from Joseph Marie Jacquard, the creator of the loom attachment.
The loom process of jacquard fabrics is laborious and time-consuming compared to basic weaving, and also requires the weaver to have extremely high skills. But the effort and time are worth it, as jacquard fabrics are known for their exquisite designs and beautiful quality, making them a top choice for home decoration. This fabric has evolved over time, and in the 1980s, electronic jacquard looms were introduced. This allowed jacquard fabrics to be mass-produced and more complex designs to be achieved. Due to their texture and thickness, the most common application of jacquard fabrics in home decoration is as furniture decoration. Over the years, they have also been used in bedding and pillow covers, as well as other decorative items.
