Take a seat
Moquette is a tough woollen fabric that is used to upholster seats on public transport all over the world. The name โmoquetteโ comes from the French word for carpet. ๐งต
It’s made using a weaving technique known as jacquard and is typically made of wool and nylon. The woollen pile has good thermal properties, making it cool in summer and warm in winter.
Moquette was first applied to public transport seating in London in the 1920s. Many designers have created beautiful patterns over the years, we have chosen a few of our favourites to share with you. ๐ฅฐ
