An Exquisitely Soft and Visually Striking Upholstery Fabric
In an exclusive collaboration with Italian textile house Dedar, GUBI introduces Karakorum Stripe—a bold, black-and-white interpretation of the iconic bouclé. Woven from a luxurious blend of wool, viscose, and cotton, its looped yarns offer a rich, tactile softness that evokes the plush elegance of astrakhan lambskin.

Named after the ancient Mongol capital—a historic hub along the Silk Road—the fabric embodies both heritage and innovation. Its deep, sumptuous pile is not only visually captivating but also engineered for resilience, with resistance to dirt, light, and fire.

The graphic striped motif brings a contemporary edge to classic bouclé, lending striking contrast and depth to sculptural silhouettes. Paired with GUBI’s iconic designs—like the Pacha Lounge Chair—Karakorum Stripe becomes a statement.
