ABOUT DVELAS PRODUCT
1/ What are the DVELAS furniture edition designs based upon?
All the furniture designs have a conceptual component whose aim is to make the materials work in a similar way to what they do at sea. That is why concepts such as the tension of the sail or equilibrium are present in the designs. The sailing techniques and intrinsic qualities of the materials are also a source of inspiration for the designs. And, of course, the sea and its poetry.
2/ What is a Limited Edition?
All the DVELAS Furniture Editions use recovered sails. A series is made out of each sail, consisting in a limited number of pieces that have been manufactured with that sail. All the products have a traceability tag that gives information about all the available data of the sail, its origin, the type of sail, the sail-maker brand where it was manufactured, the sail number of the boat it belonged to.
3/ What is a Unique Edition?
Some sails or parts of them have certain esthetic qualities such as the marks, colours, seams, etc., which make them very special. We call the pieces that have been exclusively selected to emphasise these unique characteristics UNIQUE EDITIONS.
4/ Can you make a DVELAS product with my old sail?
Yes, get in touch with us by email at dvelas@dvelas, com, or by telephone at +34 948 237 091 and we will take charge of picking it up and of making a good offer.
5/ Are the products suitable for outdoors?
Yes. The material used to manufacture the sails has excellent qualities with respect to mechanical resistance and humidity behaviour and they will continue to keep those attributes despite not being suitable for sailing. Furthermore, DVLAS waterproofs the recovered sails after washing them.
Although the upcycled sail fabric is waterproof and have an anti-solar treatment, with the proper easy care and maintenance it can offer many years of beauty and enjoyment. If it is not properly cleaned and protected, it will gradually degrade and its beauty can begin to fade.
