Upholstery design tip

Mix cloths on one piece: silk on the outside back of a chair, where it is seen and rarely touched, with leather or velvet on the seat.

The cloth

Printed to order in Manchester
A Circle chair in Panthera Terrosa

Natural linen

Soft, matt and quietly textured

A lightweight, natural cloth with a soft hand and a gentle slub. It takes the print crisply and gives a quieter, more matt colour than velvet.

  • 100%natural linen
  • 250 gper square metre
  • 144 cmprinted width
  • 20,000Martindale rubs

Recycled velvet

Plush, deep and made from bottles

A plush, deep pile with rich, saturated colour. Made from recycled bottles, it is wipeable and far more forgiving than silk velvet, with the same soft hand.

  • 100%recycled polyester pile
  • 540 gper square metre
  • 40,000Martindale rubs
  • CAL117certified for the USA

Woven at Ron's mill, England

Silk weaving is still an art

Our silk begins as the finest raw silk, spun and twisted into a four-ply yarn for strength and a lasting lustre. We fully de-gum it, removing a quarter of its weight to reveal the pure fibre, and leave it unweighted where others add mineral salts. Every thread is dyed in house, then woven densely enough to carry eight colours at once.

  • 4-plyyarn, for strength and lustre

  • 154picks per centimetre

The pattern

Every pattern

Panthera

Big cats, figures and flowers, in perfect balance

Panthera began as hand-drawn illustrations by the Ukrainian artist Yevheniia Vynokurova, redrawn in our studio as a repeat. Poised tigers sit among layered botanicals and classical figures, mirrored about a central stem so the design reads like a decorative panel.

In Terrosa, burnt orange, ochre and deep rust meet earthy greens. Warm and richly layered, the palette gives Panthera an enveloping presence and reinforces the composure of the design. The symmetry means the pattern centres beautifully on a chair back, a cushion or a headboard.

Questions

Before you order

Samples, scale, quantities, fire safety, delivery and trade.

Should I order a sample first?

Yes, please. Colour shifts between screens and rooms, and fabric is printed to order so it cannot be returned. Samples are £4.20 in linen or velvet (about 19.5 cm square, at medium scale), with free postage, dispatched in 3 to 5 working days.

Which scale should I choose?

Medium is our standard and suits sofas, headboards and most upholstery. Small is for dining chairs, cushions and smaller pieces; large is for curtains, walls and statement pieces. The room drawing above shows each one at its real size.

How much fabric do I need?

Use the calculator above for curtains, blinds, upholstery, cushions and headboards. It allows for the pattern match. Your curtain maker or upholsterer should confirm before you order, and it is best to order everything for one project together so it is printed in one run.

Is it fire retardant?

In the UK, upholstered furniture must meet the furniture fire safety regulations. We can treat the fabric on request, or your upholsterer can use a fire-retardant interliner. Our velvet is CAL117 certified for the USA. Tell us where it is going and we will advise.

How is it delivered?

Printed to order and dispatched within 10 to 12 days, as one continuous length, rolled rather than folded. UK delivery is £16 plus VAT (£19.20) for any length from 1 to 50 metres; for overseas delivery we send a quote.

Can I have it in another colour or scale?

Yes. We can print any of our patterns at a bespoke scale, and develop a colourway for your project, with strike-offs to approve before we print.

How do I look after it?

Dry clean only. Spills on velvet can be blotted and wiped with a damp cloth. Keep all our fabrics out of strong, direct sun.

Do you offer trade terms?

Yes, for interior designers and architects. Tick the trade box when you enquire and we will send trade pricing and arrange samples for your project.
