Dedar
Karakorum
A bouclé that intertwines wool and viscose in an uneven texture of loops and curls, inspired by precious astrakhan furs. With its soft and bulky hand-feel, this fabric is ideal for upholstery destined for an intensive use
Tiny ‘bouclette’ ripple the surface. The gentle irregularity of the thread creates a loop and a lively personality. It is to the sphere of living things that this fabric belongs, with the beauty of a magnificent animal, thick fur and an unpredictable individuality. Karakorum expressiveness is made of matter and texture. It is poised in perfect equilibrium between a convinced luminosity and a woolly nature that tones it down; between the embrace of fur and a great sense of moderation that would never forgive an extravagance.
Founded in 1976, Dedar is a family-run fabric house that expresses a personal style with its cutting-edge contemporary collections. Located close to Como, in the heart of a manufacturing district, Dedar experiments and innovates to attain product perfection through an ongoing dialogue with those craftsmen and textile specialists who are most familiar with the techniques employed in the production of excellent fabrics. Characterized by seductive colour palettes and unexpected patterns, Dedar’s fabrics combine precious yarns with research into fibre technology to offer various solutions for curtains, upholstery and wall coverings of timeless elegance. From 2011 to 2020, Dedar partnered with Hermès in the production and distribution of furnishing fabric and wallpaper collections. The company has also embarked on a strategic project to integrate issues related to sustainable development into the choices, processes, and corporate objectives which has led the company to the drafting of the first Sustainability Report.
Dedar has embarked on a virtuous long-term path to identify concrete actions through which it can contribute to a better future from an environmental, economic, and social point of view. The companies commitment to sustainable development is rooted in the desire to produce beauty and well-being for the community. For this reason, in 2019, Dedar drafted the first Sustainability Report, according to the international GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) methodology, enabling the company to transparently report corporate impacts in the environmental, social and economic fields, as well as to introduce its action areas and objectives for a sustainable development. Dedar has also drawn up and applies the corporate Code of Ethics as being deeply convinced that there can be no sustainable growth and development in the long term without the integration of the ethical principles of honesty, reliability, respect, fairness and transparency within the business. The Code of Ethics translates these principles into rules of conduct to guide the actions of all those who daily contribute to achieving the corporate mission.
