Fabric selection

The fabrics proposed by Torres are made in Italy. Here are some points to consider when selecting fabrics from the 160 varieties and 600 colors available.

POINT.1 AREA EFFECT

The impression of a color depends on the area it occupies in the field of vision. For example, a sofa will look one tone brighter than a fabric sample. This is called the "area effect": the larger the area, the brighter and brighter it appears. In other words, the larger the area of a light color, the brighter and brighter it appears. Darker colors = the larger the area, the darker they appear. In the same way, the impression of a sofa can change depending on the size of its area, even if the fabric is exactly the same, so the phenomenon of "the color is different from what I expected" can occur.

A little bit of knowledge in general color selection, such as for cars and clothes other than sofas, will help you choose your favorite color more accurately.

POINT.2 VISIBILITY BY LIGHT

For example, have you ever tried on a red dress at a boutique, only to find that it is not the red you imagined outdoors? The same is true for sofas. The "look" of a sofa can also be affected by the color of the lighting in the space. Please refer to the "area effect" as well.

Lighting color temperature

light bulb color

Slightly orange-tinged light color. This is a warm light like sunrise and sunset, suitable for spaces where you want to relax.

daylight lamp

A light color that is close to natural light. The color that is closest to sunlight and allows us to see things in a state that is close to natural for humans.

daylight color

A cool, slightly bluish light color. It is considered a color that enhances alertness and concentration, and is suitable for use in offices as well as for illuminating the hand where work is being done.

Based on light where we spend a lot of time.

These days, many ceiling lights and downlights are dimmable and color-controllable, allowing you to select the appropriate lighting color for each scene, such as changing to light bulb color for relaxing time and daylight color for studying time. Therefore, it is recommended that the color of the fabric be selected based on the color of light that will be used most frequently.

In addition to lighting, weather and other factors can also affect the appearance of fabrics. It is recommended to check fabric samples at the place where the sofa will be placed (south side of the living room, north side of the living room, etc.).

Color usage

Color has a much greater effect than you might imagine. We will introduce color techniques to achieve the desired atmosphere and impression, as well as examples of delivery.

black and white

White -White-

It gives the impression of brightness, lightness, and spaciousness, and when used in interior design, it makes a room look clean, bright, spacious, and fresh. It is the perfect color for a new life.

Black -Black-

It gives the impression of stateliness, maturity, and luxury. When used in interiors, it creates a sense of calmness and stability, and creates a luxurious atmosphere. It is a universal color that is not influenced by trends.

cold color

Information that comes in through the eyes is also related to "hot and cold". Cold colors should be incorporated during times of increased use of dehumidification and air conditioning.

Impression that cold colors give

A color that calms the mind. It is often used for this effect, as it is suited for offices where concentration is required.

Sofa cover in cold colors

Cold colors are receding colors (shrinking colors), which make the room appear larger when incorporated into sofa covers. Blue is recommended. These colors bring in coolness.

THE COMBINATION OF THE DEEP SOFA [FSB] AND THE FRESH BLUE COLOR GIVES THE LIVING ROOM A COOL AND COMFORTABLE FEELING. THE WALLS OF MOST JAPANESE HOUSES TEND TO BE WHITE, BUT WE USED A SIMILAR COLOR FOR THE CURTAINS AND OTHER ELEMENTS TO CREATE A SPACE WITH A RESORT-LIKE FEEL.

The sofa [HM], which is compact but provides firm support up to the shoulders, is matched with a vivid blue fabric. Blue has the effect of making a space look more spacious, so you can create a room with a clean, uncluttered impression without feeling oppressive.

Incorporate cold colors in cushion covers

Cushion covers play an excellent supporting role in interior design. They give a new look to a familiar sofa or room. Changing the size also adds a sense of rhythm to the color impression. Just one cushion cover is a versatile item that can change the look and feel of the season.

THE SOFA [JFH], CHARACTERIZED BY ITS ELEGANT ROUNDED DESIGN, HAS A PALE BLUE TONE, BLACK TO MATCH THE LEG COLOR OF THE TABLE, AND WHITE FOR THE CUSHIONS TO HARMONIZE WITH THE CLOTH. THE IMPRESSION IS QUIET AND CLEAN.

warm color

Warm colors (red, yellow, and orange) stimulate the sympathetic nervous system just by looking at them and are said to increase body temperature. It is said that the body temperature in warm-colored and cold-colored rooms is quite different.

Influence of warm colors

Warm colors give a cheerful and bright impression. Even in the coldest of winters, warm colors can create a warm and relaxing atmosphere.

Sofa covers in warm colors

Warm-colored fabrics, which at first glance may seem gaudy, range from soft tones that are easy to blend into a room to vivid colors. It may be a good idea to focus on how you want to feel in your room, whether you want to be energetic, elegant, or individualistic.

Vivid red. If you place it by itself, it will stand out, so linking it with the colors of the curtains, rug, and surrounding accessories will create a cohesive space.

A combination of orange and gray in soft tones to harmonize with the color of the floor. It creates a peaceful atmosphere suitable for a place to relax and unwind.

Incorporate warm colors in cushion covers

Coordinating fabrics in subdued tones with warmer colors as complementary (opposite) colors is popular.

Psychological effects of cold colors

1. calm your mind

2. sober, sincere, calm and collected atmosphere

3. visually cool

Psychological effects of warm colors

1. softness makes it feel familiar

2. lighten the atmosphere

3. visually warming

Why not choose a slightly different angle, such as incorporating psychological effects as well as taste?

Trend Color Transition 2019-2021

ALL TRES SOFAS HAVE A COVERING DESIGN.

This allows you to enjoy the color of the sofa according to the season and the mood of the year. It is also recommended to choose based on "trendy colors" that can be decided every year. Here is a summary of the colors that have been in vogue in recent years.

2019

RED WAS ONE OF THE TREND COLORS ANNOUNCED BY JAFCA (JAPAN FASHIONABLE COLOR ASSOCIATION), AN ORGANIZATION THAT SELECTS COLOR TRENDS IN JAPAN. RED COMES IN A VARIETY OF TONES, BUT THE FOCUS WAS ON SUBDUED TONES WITH A DRAMATIC ATMOSPHERE, SUCH AS BORDEAUX LIKE THE RED BERRIES IN A FOREST AT NIGHT.

In fact, the more innocuous a color is, the more difficult it is to match. Sometimes it is easier to create an image of a room if a clear color is used as the main color. Red is visually eye-catching, making it a perfect interior accent. We also recommend using red in a room facing north or one that does not get much sun, to take advantage of its warmth.

2020

The Japan Fashionable Color Association has announced "Human Red. Vivid red, a color that evokes the rich emotions and energy unique to humans, the dynamism of the body, and the exuberance of sports. The warm red color can be incorporated into normally subdued interiors to raise the temperature of the room.

The "Pantone Color of the Year 2020" is "Classic Blue. Reminiscent of the vast and infinite night sky, this deep blue brings a mood of serenity as it signals the end of the day. A simple yet elegantly appealing and timeless hue, blue is a color that inspires confidence and creative sensitivity. It is said that many people instinctively choose blue for this reason. Perhaps the reason why indigo blue jeans are loved around the world is that when you wear blue, you feel at home in your mind and body.

2021

One of the grays, "Ultimate Gray," was chosen as one of the symbolic colors for the year 2021, announced by Pantone, which determines the color codes used around the world. The combination chosen at the same time was "Illuminating," a bright yellow.

Gray here is a "practical" and "enduring" symbol, a color that stands the test of time and represents calmness and stability. The combination "illuminating" is another color that symbolizes the warmth of the sun. Let the gray fabric, which symbolizes fortitude, help you overcome all difficulties.

Tress offers a whopping 59 types of gray upholstery fabrics.

That is why it is often chosen as a universal color. Sofas are where the family spends a lot of time in daily life. Because it is a place that is often used, it is likely that you may feel a bit stuck in a rut.

In such cases, try changing the "color" with the "trend" or "year" in mind.

Color and pattern application

The sofa makes its presence felt in the center of the living room.

It is no exaggeration to say that the color determines the image of the space.

Coordinates with patterns

It comes together well by considering the overall atmosphere and deciding on the harmony of colors and the size of the pattern.

cover fabric: BYR-BE(beige) / back cushion: ATD-BL(blue) / S cushion: HLK-WH(white)

The simple sofa design based on straight lines is harmonized with patterned cushions in the same color as the main body, adding a calm atmosphere to the living room. The fabric pattern also gives a sharp impression by adding a new diagonal shape that is not found in buildings or furniture. This coordination is easy to adopt even for those who are not comfortable with patterns.

Cover fabric: LBY-PT

The living room, with its white walls and dark brown fixtures, has been given a sense of liveliness by choosing a geometric pattern in blue and white. At first glance, the pattern looks solid, but when you look at it from a bird's eye view, you can feel a depth that cannot be achieved with a single color.

Coordinate with two-tone colors

sofa [X] 3P
size：W2100/D930/H800/SH400

cover fabric: Body: CPO-BK (black)

CUSHION: 10502-MG (MOCHA GRAY)

sofa [X] Ottoman
size：W680/D600/H400

Cover fabric: CPO-BK (black)

piping fabric: 10502-MG (mocha gray)

Black legs (Roomba compatible)

The sofa [X] provides a stable and comfortable seating feeling as if it were wrapped around you. The two-tone fabric creates a slimmer impression with the left and right necklines.

Coordinates with piping

Piping began as a technique for decorating clothing. Recently, it has been increasingly used for curtains, cushions, and interior decorations, and its incorporation has the effect of changing the atmosphere into a fashionable one. Among TRES sofas, sofa [JD] in particular has piping on the cushions, and you can have fun by using different fabrics or using opposite colors.

Piping is an excellent detail that serves not only as an accent but also to prevent fraying.

feel of a material

Because the sofa is something we spend every day with, we want to pay close attention to the feel of the fabric. Just as clothing changes with the seasons, fabrics should ideally be chosen to best suit the time of year.

summer

Fabrics with a cool, light hand are recommended. Choose a breathable fabric that is not sticky.

Sofa fabric made of 100% hemp

Hemp is the strongest of all natural fibers. It absorbs and dissipates moisture quickly and is light to the touch. It is also highly flexible, and its natural luster and natural texture make it ideal for covering sofas.

Cotton linen sofa fabric

Natural cotton and linen are woven together to create a natural taste. Cotton is breathable, absorbent, and reasonably priced. Linen is an indispensable material for interior decoration because of its texture and natural atmosphere. The more you wash it, the more comfortable it becomes, making it a fabric you can grow with.

Cotton linen, viscose sofa fabric

A type of rayon material with a lustrous sheen, soft to the touch, and a terrorem feel. This fabric is a combination of 73% cotton, linen, and viscose. The breathability of the cotton, the coolness of the linen, and the calmness of the viscose are mixed together to create a natural yet elegant look and feel.

winter

We recommend the raised fabric. You can feel the warmth just by touching it.

CUR-DG (DARK GRAY)

CUR series [D-type

The moderate unevenness of this fabric creates a shabby chic atmosphere and a fashionable look. Another reason for its popularity is that you can choose from several shades of gray. The appeal of this fabric is that it offers a wide range of expression to meet your needs, such as whether you want to brighten up the room or create a calm atmosphere.

LRI series [E-type

An emotional all-cotton velvet that turns a room into a movie set. When you close your eyes and touch it, you get a lyrical image of a long-furred cat cuddling next to a fireplace while enjoying a glass of Western wine.

OME series [D-type

You can enjoy the rich, velvet-like raised texture of this fabric. The luxurious comfort of the cushion and the softness of the fabric are both superb.
