In 2009 Cranium introduced the Movamento, our first rotating round bed. Our high end quality custom furniture is not available in stores!

TRENDS The round bed comes full circle

The round bed is bringing a little levity back to the bedroom. By David A. Keeps, Times Staff Writer June 7, 2007

In a surprising spin, however, lower-cost stationary versions of this adult novelty bed have also become popular for kids' rooms. After success with local retailers, Chicago-based manufacturer Glober Furniture Inc. offers the Sercio bed with a curved, mirror-trimmed headboard and a base illuminated with concealed rope lights. It is priced under $3,500*, including the 7-foot diameter mattress; IKEA's Sultan Sandane, a round mattress on a minimalist frame, is about a quarter of the cost. "They're a bit campy, like something you'd see in Katy Keene teen model comic books," interior designer Jackie Terrell says, "but I can see how it would be fun in a teenager's room."

FINE LINENS GLOSSARY



EGYPTIAN COTTON: Egyptian cotton is a fine, lustrous, long-staple cotton that produces a soft, high-quality fabric.

GUSSET: A gusset refers to the depth of a top mattress.

HEMSTITCH: A hemstitch is a stitch used to create a decorative, open weave pattern. A hemstitch is created by sewing along a line from which threads have been drawn out, gathering the cross threads into a series of small groups.

JACQUARD: Jacquard is a system of weaving which, because of a pattern-making mechanism of great versatility, permits the production of woven designs of considerable size. The Jacquard loom, a derivation of the old drawboy hand loom, was credited to Joseph Marie Jacquard in France in the early 19th century. On the Jacquard loom, because threads are handled individually, anywhere from 100 to 15,000 threads may have independent weave action, allowing for complicated curvilinear designs. Jacquard-woven fabrics—particularly sheets—have a warm, silky finish.

PERCALE: Percale is a fine, plain-woven cloth of closely set combed and carded long-staple cotton. Percale produces very high-grade and fine-quality linen.

PIECE-DYEING: Piece-dyeing is a process of dyeing fabric in the piece or bolt.

SATIN: Satin is a fabric with a characteristically smooth surface and high luster due to the high number of floats on the fabric. Constructed of mercerized cotton, satin is even stronger than plain cotton and has a greater affinity to dyes. Weft or filler satins are usually referred to as sateen.

SHRINKAGE: Shrinkage is the contraction of a fiber, yarn, or fabric after washing and drying. Most products made of natural fibers have a tendency to shrink 4-6%.

THREAD COUNT: Thread count is the number of yarns per square inch in a woven fabric.

YARN-DYEING: Yarn-dyeing refers to fabric made from yarn that has been dyed before weaving.

A

ACCORDION PLEAT: Accordion pleats are single, large pleats which are often used as a method of fan folding in pleated curtains before installing, or they can be used in contract curtains by snapping onto channel slides.

ACETATE: Acetate is a man-made fiber composed of acetylated cellulose.

ACRYLIC: Acrylic is a man-made fiber derived from petrochemical by-products.

AUSTRIAN SHADE: An Austrian shade is a shade with ruching down the whole side length, creating billows when the shade is raised.

B

BALLOON SHADE: Balloon shades are shades with vertical rows of horizontally gathered fabric which can be drawn up to form strips of pleated or gathered trim.

BAR TACK: Bar tack is a sewing machine operation of repeated stitches concentrated to secure the lowest portion of curtain pleats.

BOLT: A bolt is an entire length of fabric rolled full-width on a tube.

BORDER: A border is similar to a gimp, but is wider than a gimp. It is a flat, woven textile made in many styles. One or both edges of the border can be plain, cut, or have scalloped loops. Borders are also sometimes woven in plain patterns such as stripes or chevrons.

Bouclé: Bouclé is a novelty yarn which is looped and crimped to produce a pebbly surface.

Box Pleat: A box pleat is a fold of cloth sewn into place to create fullness in a curtain. Box pleats are evenly spaced and stitched.

BROCATELLE: Brocatelle was originally meant to be an imitation of Italian tooled leather created on a plain or satin background, with a satin or twill pattern. Brocatelle is characterized by a smooth, raised figure of warp-effect, often in a satin weave, atop a filling effect backdrop. Actual brocatelle is a double weave constructed of silk and linen warp with a linen and silk filling. Modern-day materials have changed from the 13th and 14th century fabrics, but still incorporate the embossed figure in a tight, compact woven warp-effect. Although brocatelle is sometimes considered a flat fabric, it displays patterns that stand out in a sort of high relief, blistered effect.

BRUSH FRINGE: A brush fringe is a cut fringe that has a flat skirt made of thin yarns. The heading of a brush fringe can vary from plain to elaborate.

BULLION FRINGE: A bullion fringe is a fringe made of plain or crepe cords rather than yarns. The heading can range from plain or decorative.

The warps are taped in groups of four and the wefts are beaten in very closely. After weaving, the fabric is cut lengthwise between each of these groups of warp yarns, each cutting producing continuous chenille which is then twisted. The word “chenille” means “caterpillar” in French.

Doupione: Doupione is an irregular slub silk reeled from double cocoons or silk worms which have spun their cocoons side by side causing an interlock, making it necessary to reel them together. Antique taffetas and sheers are woven with doupioni weft yarn, as are many damasks.

Drapability: Drapability refers to how well a fabric can flow or fall into folds in an attractive manner.

Drapery: Drapery refers to a window covering which is usually hung from a rod.

Draw Curtains: Draw curtains are panels of fabric featuring pleated headings.

Dress Curtains: Dress curtains are draperies used for the sole purpose of decorating and are not meant to be drawn.

Duck: Duck is a broad term for a wide range of plain weave fabrics. Duck is usually made of cotton, although sometimes linen is used. The terms “canvas” and “duck” are often interchangeable, but canvas is often used to refer to heavier constructions. The term duck had its origins before the mid-19th century when all canvas for sails was imported. The light flax sail fabrics imported mostly from England and Scotland bore the trademark stencil of a raven, while the weights bore the trademark of a duck. The word duck became associated with a heavy fabric and was applied to cotton canvas when it was first manufactured in the U.S.

Flame-Retardant Fabric: Flame-retardant fabric is man-made fabric with a fiber content that is made or treated to resist burning, and that passes most fire code requirements.

Heading: A heading is the hemmed, usually stiffened, portion across the top of a curtain.

Heat Transfer Printing: Heat transfer printing is a method that transfers designs from rolls of paper to polyester or other thermoplastic fibers. Designs are preprinted with disperse dyes on paper, and under high temperature are transferred onto fabric when both are passed through a heat transfer printing machine. Disperse dyes are the only dyes that can sublimate and, therefore, are the only dyes that can be used. This printing process is an adaptation of the decalcomania method.

Hem: A hem is a finished edge of a sewn item.

On the Jacquard loom, because threads are handled individually, anywhere from 100 to 15,000 threads may have independent weave action, allowing for complicated curvilinear designs.
