Microfibra Embossed is built from ultrathin polyester microfibre, with individual fibres thinner than a single human hair. The embossed surface is a raised texture pressed into the weave that gives the fabric its distinctive appearance and tactile quality. The fibre density and tensile strength of this construction are significantly higher than standard polyester, which is why it holds colour through multiple washes and resists pilling under regular use.

The colour palette for Microfibra Embossed is the widest in the Bellissima range: 12 colours available for 1, 2, and 3 seater configurations, and 5 colours for 4 seater. This includes neutrals (Vanilla, Champagne, Pearl), warm tones (Terracotta, Cappuccino, Mocha, Dark Chocolate, Ocher), cool tones (Ash Blue, Graphite), and accent colours (Bordeaux, Dusty Rose). The colour names are inspired by the Italian palette used by Paulato's design team in Bergamo.

Available colours: Bordeaux, Pearl, Champagne, Ash Blue, Terracotta, Vanilla, Mocha, Dark Chocolate, Cappuccino, Ocher, Dusty Rose, Graphite (1–3 Seater). Pearl, Cappuccino, Champagne, Vanilla, Mocha (4 Seater only).

Microfibra Printed uses the same 100% polyester base construction as Microfibra Embossed, with the same elastic stretch architecture and WavyTech™ system. The difference is the surface: Microfibra Printed carries distinctive printed patterns and colour treatments applied to the fabric, rather than an embossed texture. The patterns were designed in Bergamo and range from subtle organic textures to more defined geometric and repeat patterns.

The soft elastic construction stretches in all directions, so the printed pattern remains crisp and undistorted even when the cover is at full extension across a wide sofa back or around an armrest transition. This is the key technical requirement for a printed stretch fabric: the pattern must not distort visibly when the fabric is under tension. Paulato's testing protocol specifically evaluates pattern integrity under full extension.

Available colours (1–3 Seater): Mediterraneo Coffee, Vittoria Grey, Graffio Terracotta, Graffio Beige, Mediterraneo Bordeaux, Mediterraneo Sand, Ricciolo Mocha, Ricciolo Cream, Universo Cream, Vittoria Green. 4 Seater: Vittoria Grey, Mediterraneo Bordeaux, Mediterraneo Sand, Mediterraneo Coffee, Universo Cream. Corner and L-Shaped: Mediterraneo Bordeaux, Mediterraneo Sand, Mediterraneo Coffee, Universo Cream.

Goffrato Cotone is Bellissima's organic cotton offering. The word "goffrato" refers to the goffered, slightly crinkled surface texture pressed into the cotton weave, which gives this fabric its distinctive appearance. The base material is 100% organic cotton, meaning the cotton was grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms. This certification is applied at the cultivation stage, before any manufacturing processes.

The finished fabric then carries OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification, which verifies that no harmful substances were introduced during the manufacturing, dyeing, or finishing processes. This dual certification — organic source material plus clean finished product — makes Goffrato Cotone the fabric with the highest safety and environmental credentials in the Bellissima range.

As organic cotton, this fabric is naturally hypoallergenic and free of the synthetic chemical treatments that can cause or aggravate contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. It is the recommended choice for households with documented fabric allergies, infants or toddlers who spend time on the sofa, or anyone with a general preference for natural, certified materials.

Available colours: Cappuccino, Vanilla. Available in 1 Seater, 2 Seater, and 3 Seater only.

Note: The limited colour range for Goffrato Cotone reflects the natural dye compatibility constraints of organic cotton processing, where colour options are intentionally restricted to maintain the organic certification and avoid the chemical-intensive dyeing processes required for a wider palette.

Goffrato Velvet is a 100% polyester fabric with a characteristic velvet elastic surface coating. Velvet as a furnishing fabric has a long history in Italian interior design, valued for its light-catching brilliance and the way it makes surfaces appear richer and more saturated in colour. Paulato's adaptation of this aesthetic into a stretch slipcover fabric required significant engineering to maintain the velvet surface integrity under the tension of WavyTech™ extension.

The elastic coating that gives Goffrato Velvet its surface brilliance also has a practical benefit: it conceals existing imperfections in the upholstery surface underneath. Worn patches, faded areas, and uneven colouring in the original fabric become invisible once the Goffrato Velvet cover is fitted. This makes it particularly well suited for older sofas that the owner wants to present in the best possible light.

The touch sensation of Goffrato Velvet is distinctly pleasant: soft with a slight resistance, cooler to the initial touch than cotton but warming to body temperature quickly. The surface has a directional quality characteristic of velvet weaves and should be brushed in one direction to maintain the uniform appearance of the pile.

Available colours: Vanilla only. Available in 1 Seater, 2 Seater, and 3 Seater only.

Note: Goffrato Velvet is currently available in Vanilla only. The single colour option reflects the surface coating complexity of the velvet elastic finish, which limits colour range compared to plain weave fabrics.
