Explore the delicate and fascinating process of restoring the precious \u201cDeco\u201d velvet in in Gothenburg’s Stadsteater (City Theater), Sweden. A work that restored a unique piece of history and textile art, created by our Tessitura in the 1930s, to its original splendor.<\/p>\n
The Gothenburg City Theater<\/a> underwent an extraordinary restoration in 2021. Lasting a whole year, the work was commissioned by the municipal company Higab, designed by the interior design studio AIX<\/a>, and executed by Studio V\u00e4stsvensk Konservering<\/a>.<\/p>\n One of the rare examples of Art Deco in Sweden, the theater is the city’s main venue for the performing arts and was declared a protected building in 2017. For this reason, the restoration sought to preserve the historical and cultural value of the theater, built in 1934 during the transition from classicism to emerging modernism, paying great attention to the details of the interior.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”60539,65302″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Gothenburg City Theater<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n At the heart of this project is Thalia, the new foyer bar, a jewel added to the theater during the renovation and now one of the most culturally significant areas of the entire building.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/bar_thalia_foto_kalle_sanner_cover.jpg” title_text=”bar_thalia_foto_kalle_sanner_cover” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Bar Thalia at the Gothenburg City Theater<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Its back wall featured original Deco velvet panels in poor condition, which could not be completely restored. In fact, it dates back to the years between 1932 and 1934, when it was handmade in our Tessitura, based on a design by architect Carl Bergsten, who designed the theater. The architect, who lived in the era of functionalism, did not sacrifice beauty for utility, and it is thanks to his love of aesthetics that this design, which he called \u201cIsabella,\u201d is now part of our archive<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Letter-Architetto-Carl-Bergsten-Teatro-Goteborg.jpg” alt=”Lettera Architetto Carl Bergsten Teatro Goteborg | Tessitura Luigi Bevilacqua” title_text=”Lettera Architetto Carl Bergsten Teatro Goteborg” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”400px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”400px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Letter from architect Carl Bergsten to Cesare Bevilacqua<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In its project, Studio AIX also sought to combine functionality and beauty, starting with historical Art Deco-inspired elements and developing them with a sense of playfulness and warmth. The main wall of the Thalia, with its original curved shape, therefore retained the Deco velvet in the upper part. In the lower part, separated by a narrow wall-mounted shelf, the wall was fitted with a coffered panel, which strategically reduced the part to be covered with Deco velvet.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/bar_thalia_velluto-Deco1.jpg” alt=”Visita Patriarca Roncalli | Tessitura Bevilacqua” title_text=”bar_thalia_velluto Deco(1)” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n On the opposite side is a wooden bar counter with gold metal details.

This is because the fabric has parts where the velvet is cut and parts where it is formed by curls: the former absorbs light and appears darker than the latter.\u00a0<\/p>\n Deco soprarizzo is an extremely exclusive fabric and is still made today by hand on our 18th-century looms, using pure silk for both the pile and the background.<\/p>\n With the same design, we also produce the G\u00f6teborg heddle velvet<\/a> today.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The restoration of the Deco velvet was a handcrafted process divided into several stages. First, during a preliminary visit, it was inspected in its original context, revealing surface dirt, stains, and damage of various kinds. The plasterboard had been fixed directly to the fabric, and it is very likely that smoking was allowed on the premises, so over time, the velvet became a filter for the dust released into the air.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Teatro-Goteborg-Velluto-Soprarizzo-Deco-anno-1934.jpg” alt=”Teatro Goteborg Stadsteater | Tessitura Bevilacqua” title_text=”Teatro Goteborg Velluto Soprarizzo Deco anno 1934″ show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The Gothenburg City Theater in the 1930s<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A series of cleaning tests showed that cleaning with water could not be done, requiring the intervention of a specialized laundry in Gothenburg. Dry cleaning with hydrocarbons proved to be the most delicate and effective method, even to regenerate the organic component of the silk.<\/p>\n The subsequent disassembly required great care and attention to detach the velvet coverings from the walls and separate them. They had been sewn together, some by machine, some by hand, and others glued to panels.\u00a0 After being cataloged, they were transported to SVK headquarters for freezing at -30 degrees C, which was necessary to prevent any pest attacks.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”59059,59055,59051,59047,59003,59007″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ max_width=”300px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”300px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The stages of the Deco Velvet restoration – Photo gallery<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n During this phase, the velvet was found to be in surprisingly good condition, although damage in the form of holes and wear had to be addressed. The fabrics were taken to the laundry for cleaning, which made them significantly cleaner and fresher on both the front and back. At the same time, however, the treatment wore them down, especially in the smooth satin sections (the curved bands). Nevertheless, given that the velvet was very dirty, it was decided to continue with the treatment and reinforce the material afterwards with a suitable support.<\/p>\n The actual restoration process involved the use of lamination to reinforce the fabric. This method, commonly used in painting and textile conservation, involved applying a fireproof lining to the back of the velvet with a heat-activating adhesive layer. The damaged parts were carefully repaired, using hand-dyed fabrics to replace some of the original sections.<\/p>\n Reassembly of the restored fabrics on the Thalia Bar wall was a meticulous process, with careful adaptation of the design to maintain visual harmony. The modules were fixed to the plaster with transparent adhesives, while wooden slats were screwed in to elegantly mask the upper edges of the velvet and frame the doors. The project was completed with the insertion of a coffered panel in the lower part of the wall, completing the composition and defining the relationship between the different surfaces with balance.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”59043,59039,59035,59011,59027,59023,59019,59015″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ max_width=”300px” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”didascalia” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ text_font=”||on||” text_font_size=”12″ background_color=”rgba(218,221,221,0.52)” text_orientation=”center” max_width=”300px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The stages of the Deco Velvet restoration – Photo gallery<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The result of this impressive restoration work is a beautifully renewed Deco wallpaper velvet, which now adorns the wall of the Thalia Bar in the Gothenburg City Theater. The golden sheen of the silk has been restored, the damage repaired, and the fabric, although fragile, now exudes its original elegance.<\/p>\n Looking beyond aesthetics, this restoration represents an act of preservation of the Gothenburg Theater\u2019s cultural and historical heritage, which has helped to create an authentic environment true to the place\u2019s origins.<\/p>\n Deco velvet, a splendid fabric that has withstood the passage of decades, is now the star of a new chapter in the Theater\u2019s history, being revived in the Thalia Bar in all its majesty.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/bar_thalia_velluto-Deco21.jpg” alt=”Ingresso Bar Thalia Teatro Goteborg | Tessitura Bevilacqua” title_text=”bar_thalia_velluto Deco2(1)” show_in_lightbox=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”600px” module_alignment=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cover photo credit: ” _builder_version=”4.22.1″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Discover the fascinating restoration process that has brought the Deco velvet of the Gothenburg Theatre back to its former glory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":65346,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":" [et_pb_section fb_built=\"1\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_row _builder_version=\"4.16\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][et_pb_column type=\"4_4\" _builder_version=\"4.16\" custom_padding=\"|||\" global_colors_info=\"{}\" custom_padding__hover=\"|||\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]<\/p> Esploriamo insieme il delicato e affascinante processo di restauro della preziosa carta da parati in velluto \"Deco\" nello Stadsteater<\/em>, ovvero il Teatro Comunale di G\u00f6teborg, in Svezia.

Il teatro, sede principale della citt\u00e0 per le arti performative e dichiarato edificio protetto nel 2017, \u00e8 uno dei rari esempi di Art D\u00e9co in Svezia.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\"http:\/\/www.luigi-bevilacqua.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/stadsteater-Goteborg1.jpg\" alt=\"Visita Patriarca Roncalli | Tessitura Bevilacqua\" title_text=\"stadsteater Goteborg(1)\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" _module_preset=\"default\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\"didascalia\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"600px\" module_alignment=\"center\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]Il Teatro Comunale di G\u00f6teborg Lungo la parete, curva, corre un piano da bar stretto, montato a muro, con sgabelli disposti a intervalli regolari. Al di sotto del piano, la parete \u00e8 stata dotata, in maniera strategica, di un pannello a cassettoni che ha cos\u00ec ridotto la parte da rivestire col velluto Deco. Nella parte opposta si trova invece un bancone da bar in legno con dettagli in metallo dorato. Il pavimento \u00e8 rosso e lucido. Il velluto Deco, con elementi geometrici di chiara ispirazione Art D\u00e9co, \u00e8 stato realizzato in un color avorio detto \u201cIsabella\u201d, che per il mutevole riflettersi della luce sui fili di seta assume bagliori dorati.<\/p> Questo velluto soprarizzo<\/a> \u00e8 un capolavoro tessile realizzato a mano nella nostra Tessitura tra il 1932 e il 1934, su disegno dell\u2019architetto Carl Bergsten, progettista del Teatro. Esso rivestiva originariamente anche le pareti dell'auditorium principale. Da allora, il salone \u00e8 stato riprogettato e le pareti sono state modificate, ma la carta da parati in velluto \u00e8 stata conservata dietro le nuove pareti. Fortunatamente, il Teatro aveva conservato due rotoli di velluto dai tempi della sua costruzione, che sono stati utilizzati nel restauro per sostituire le parti troppo danneggiate.

Innanzitutto, durante una visita preliminare, la carta da parati \u00e8 stata ispezionata nel suo contesto originale, rivelando sporco superficiale, macchie e danni di varia natura. Il cartongesso era stato fissato direttamente al tessuto ed \u00e8 molto probabile che nel tempo sia stato permesso fumare nei locali, per cui il velluto \u00e8 diventato nel tempo un filtro delle polveri che si liberavano nell\u2019aria.<\/p> Una serie di prove di pulizia ha mostrato l\u2019impossibilit\u00e0 di utilizzare acqua, richiedendo l'intervento di una lavanderia specializzata di G\u00f6teborg. Il lavaggio a secco con idrocarburi si \u00e8 rivelato il metodo pi\u00f9 delicato ed efficace, anche per rigenerare la componente organica della seta.<\/p> Lo smontaggio successivo ha richiesto grande cura ed attenzione per staccare le pezze di velluto dalle pareti e separarle. Erano state cucite insieme, alcune a macchina, alcune a mano, ed altre incollate a pannelli. \u00a0Dopo essere state catalogate, sono state trasportate alla sede della SVK per il congelamento a -30 gradi C, necessario per prevenire eventuali attacchi di parassiti.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=\"59058,59054,59050,59046,59002,59006\" fullwidth=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" max_width=\"300px\" module_alignment=\"center\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=\"didascalia\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"300px\" module_alignment=\"center\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]Le fasi del restauro del velluto Deco - Galleria di immagini Durante questa fase, sono emerse sorprendenti condizioni di conservazione della carta da parati in velluto, sebbene fosse necessario affrontare i danni sotto forma di fori e usura. I tessuti sono stati trasportati alla lavanderia per la pulizia, grazie alla quale sono diventati significativamente pi\u00f9 puliti e freschi sia sul fronte che sul retro. Allo stesso tempo per\u00f2, il trattamento li ha consumati, soprattutto nelle sezioni di raso liscio (le fasce curve). Tuttavia, dato che la carta da parati era molto sporca, si \u00e8 deciso di continuare il trattamento e di rinforzare successivamente il materiale con un supporto adatto.<\/p> Il processo di restauro vero e proprio ha visto l'utilizzo della laminazione per rinforzare ogni pezzo di tessuto. Questo metodo, comunemente utilizzato in pittura e conservazione tessile, ha coinvolto l'applicazione di una fodera ignifuga al retro della carta da parati con uno strato adesivo termoattivante. Le parti danneggiate sono state riparate con attenzione, utilizzando tessuti tinti a mano per sostituire alcune sezioni originali.<\/p> Il riassemblaggio dei tessuti restaurati sulla parete del Bar Thalia \u00e8 stato un processo meticoloso, con un adattamento attento del disegno per mantenere l'armonia visiva. I moduli sono stati fissati all'intonaco con adesivi trasparenti, mentre listelli di legno avvitati hanno nascosto i bordi superiori della carta da parati e i contorni delle porte. L'insieme \u00e8 stato coronato dal pannello a cassettoni, completando il restauro con maestria.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=\"59042,59038,59034,59010,59026,59022,59018,59014\" fullwidth=\"on\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" max_width=\"300px\" module_alignment=\"center\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=\"didascalia\" _builder_version=\"4.22.1\" text_font=\"||on||\" text_font_size=\"12\" background_color=\"rgba(218,221,221,0.52)\" text_orientation=\"center\" max_width=\"300px\" module_alignment=\"center\" locked=\"off\" global_colors_info=\"{}\"]Le fasi del restauro del velluto Deco - Galleria di immagini Il risultato finale di questo imponente lavoro di restauro \u00e8 un velluto da parati Deco splendidamente rinnovato, che ora adorna la parete del Bar Thalia nel Teatro Comunale di G\u00f6teborg. La lucentezza dorata della seta \u00e8 stata restaurata, i danni riparati, e il tessuto, seppur fragile, emana ora la sua originaria eleganza.<\/p> Guardando oltre l'aspetto estetico, questo restauro rappresenta un atto di preservazione dell'eredit\u00e0 culturale e storica del Teatro di G\u00f6teborg, che ha contribuito a creare un ambiente autentico e fedele alle origini del luogo.<\/p> Il velluto Deco, splendido tessuto che ha resistito al passare dei decenni, \u00e8 ora il protagonista di un nuovo capitolo nella storia del Teatro, rivivendo nel Bar Thalia con tutta la sua maestosit\u00e0.

La sua parete di fondo presentava pannelli in velluto Deco in cattivo stato. C'era il desiderio di restaurare questo velluto e di rendere la parete la caratteristica principale del nuovo bar.
