Fabric becomes architecture

LcD Textile Edition elevates textiles from decorative finishes to architectural elements through bespoke, highly expressive solutions

LcD Textile Edition has transformed the world of textiles through a revolution that is as much aesthetic as it is functional. The Belgian brand has redefined textile coverings as an integral part of architectural design, expanding both their decorative potential and their range of applications. Founded by textile designer Luc Druez, whose career includes collaborations with renowned fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton, as well as acclaimed interior designers including Peter Marino and Andrée Putman, LcD Textile Edition pioneered the concept of “architectural textiles.” Through a unique expertise that intertwines technical fibres with semi-precious metals, the company creates woven surfaces that capture, reflect and diffuse light, transforming textiles into a material capable of shaping space itself.

The result of more than thirty years of research, each collection is produced as a handcrafted limited edition, entirely designed and woven by hand in Belgium. These textiles create surfaces of extraordinary depth, revealing the richness of their material composition while bringing dynamic, vibrant character to interior environments. Copper, basalt, raffia, technical horsehair and other innovative fibres are interwoven to create living materials with exceptional tactile and visual qualities. Far removed from ostentatious luxury, the brand’s creations celebrate the refinement of texture and the subtle luminosity of metallic reflections. The natural expression of this craftsmanship is the world of bespoke interior design. Every pattern in the collection can be customised in colour, while fully tailored creations are developed in close collaboration with architects and designers to meet the specific requirements of each project. Conceived primarily for vertical applications, Luc Druez’s textile creations are featured in hospitality, retail, yachting and residential projects, where they become a seamless extension of architecture and interior design.

Decorative panels and wall coverings represent the ultimate expression of LcD Textile Edition’s collections, showcasing their exceptional luminosity to its fullest. A luminous thread runs through the world of luxury experiences, from retail to hospitality: the brand’s iridescent signature can be found in prestigious Fendi and Louis Vuitton boutiques, at the Maison Barrière Vendôme Hotel and the cocktail bar of Hôtel de Crillon in Paris, at Cracco in Galleria in Milan, as well as in boutique hotels, private residences and spas seeking materials capable of expressing not only identity but also emotion. This is precisely what LcD Textile Edition achieves. Its creations combine timeless elegance with outstanding technical performance, offering surfaces that are as functional as they are visually captivating. This creative freedom transforms every interior into a multisensory experience, where textiles become an essential architectural element and a defining expression of the space’s identity.
