What exactly is meant by the term Jacquard design? The Dauny duvet and pillow “Fiori,” for example, are finished with a “high-quality cotton satin cover featuring an exquisite Jacquard design—both classic and elegant.” In this case, it refers to a refined cotton satin cover with an attractive floral pattern. Depending on light and perspective, the floral motif of this fine Jacquard fabric appears either richly glossy or more subtle, but always elegant. 

Still in use today

At the same time, Jacquard weaving refers to the technical process that enables the automated production of patterned textiles. It was the French silk weaver Joseph-Marie Jacquard who presented a revolutionary mechanical loom over 200 years ago. Controlled by punch cards, it made it possible for the first time to weave large, complex patterns—hence the name Jacquard weaving. Although continuously developed, the fundamental principle remains the same to this day.

Luxurious appearance

Jacquard designs are suitable for various types of fabric and are widely used today: not only in bedding, but also in fashion, bath textiles, and table linens. The advantages are numerous. They offer an elegant, luxurious appearance and are durable and hard-wearing. Cotton Jacquard is very easy to care for, while silk Jacquard has excellent climate-regulating properties. Jacquard fabrics are timeless classics that enhance and elevate both duvets and pillows. Exactly the right choice for our exclusive Dauny products.
