Luciano Marcato Fabrics And Curtains In Venetian Style For Interiors

Website: Luciano Marcato

In 1962, in Venice, Luciano Marcato founded his textile maison with a defined identity: to produce furnishing fabrics that embodied Venetian elegance — the kind made of precious sheers, embroidered medallions, silk and linen stripes, and jacquards worked with techniques inherited from the great manufacturing tradition of north-eastern Italy. For over forty years, the Marcato maison built its international reputation by collaborating with renowned designers, producing exclusively in Italy, and developing collections for curtains, upholstered furniture, and drapery recognised the world over. In January 2010, the French textile company Casal acquired the Venetian brand as its first foreign acquisition in its history, bringing to the Luciano Marcato line its own international distribution capacity. To maintain creative continuity with the brand's roots, Casal entered into a collaboration with designer Felice Pessi — son of one of the original historic members of Luciano Marcato's creative team. The Italian-French partnership translates into a catalogue that speaks two languages at once: the Italian tradition of crafted fabric and the refined taste for contemporary colourways of the French textile publishing world. Luciano Marcato collections are today distributed in over 90 countries worldwide.

Venice, Alsace and Designer Felice Pessi: a Tradition in Three Voices

The creative story of Luciano Marcato after 2010 is one of a successful transformation: not the erasure of an identity, but its evolution under new guidance. Felice Pessi is the key figure in this transition: his style steers the Luciano Marcato collections into a world of refined plains and semi-plains, with unusual patterns, vibrant colour combinations, and innovative textile technologies. The Orizzonte and Cosmopolitan collections are the most complete expressions of this new creative direction: fabrics enriched by the patina of time yet reinterpreted in contemporary contexts through modern finishes and colourways. The iconic fabrics of the founding era — precious sheers in silk, linen, and cotton; striped curtains; jacquards with ornamental medallions; florals with a silk effect — remain part of the catalogue's DNA, updated in their colour palette without losing their recognisable character. The balance between tradition and contemporaneity is the promise that Luciano Marcato renews with every new collection.

Jacquard, Sheers and Micro-Weaves: Fabric as an Authored Material

The Luciano Marcato catalogue is not simply an assortment of fabrics: it is a system of thematic collections in which every fabric is designed to coordinate with the others in a conceptual way. Each collection includes original patterns matched with plains and semi-plains, creating complete and coherent proposals for decorating any type of interior. The fabrics are made with selected European yarns — viscose, polyester, cotton, linen, silk, and exclusive blends — worked using jacquard, velours, organza, and precision voile techniques. Widths reach up to 297 cm for double-height curtains in the sheer line, such as the Maddalena collection, which works transparency through traditional geometries reinterpreted via sophisticated industrial processes to play with light and colour. Fibres and constructions are selected according to intended use: lightweight curtaining for windows with abundant natural light, heavy velvets and jacquards for upholstery and drapery, mixed fibres for optimal durability in contract settings.

FAQ – Luciano Marcato: Your Questions, Our Answers

Are Luciano Marcato fabrics also suitable for high-end contract use in hotels and hospitality projects?

Yes, Luciano Marcato collections include fabrics with specific technical characteristics for contract use: certified abrasion resistance for upholstered furniture, stain-resistant treatments for drapery fabrics, and extended widths (up to 297 cm) for large-space curtaining without intermediate seams. Distribution in over 90 countries through the Casal network guarantees technical support and sampling availability across the main international markets. Luciano Marcato fabrics have been specified in high-level residential and hospitality projects in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

What are the main fibres used in Luciano Marcato collections and how do you choose the right one?

Luciano Marcato collections use blends of selected European fibres: viscose for the silk-like sheen of jacquards; polyester for colour fastness and abrasion resistance; cotton for a natural hand and breathability; linen for the organic texture of structured curtaining. The choice depends on the intended application: for curtains in high-light environments, cotton-linen voiles with light-treatment are recommended; for high-use upholstery, polyester-viscose jacquards with high abrasion resistance; for decorative low-friction drapery, viscose velvets with ornamental motifs.
