Inspired by M. C. Escher’s Penrose stairs, the Penrose Prowl pattern draws on the concept of the impossible staircase and combines it with the expressive tiger illustrations of Yevheniia. The result is a seamless architectural repeat, rich in detail and movement.
In the Rubrae colourway, this designer velvet balances deep red-brown tones with creamy neutrals, soft taupes and pale blues, creating a palette that feels both grounded and lifted. The interplay of light and shadow gives the design a more graphic presence whilst maintaining a sense of refinement and control. This considered balance allows the architectural pattern to add character and depth to interiors without overpowering the surrounding space.
Printed on our premium recycled velvet, this luxury upholstery fabric is ideally suited to cushions, headboards, curtains and bespoke furniture. The plush pile enhances the pattern's depth, creating a rich, tactile finish whilst retaining exceptional clarity and definition. With a Martindale rating of over 40,000 rubs, it is suitable for both residential and commercial interiors, making it an ideal choice for interior designers, upholsterers and furniture makers seeking a durable, high-performance velvet upholstery fabric.
