Upholstery Fabric

I found this link on a few blogs and thought I would repeat it here. This is a fantastic source for high end modern upholstery fabric. They have an amazing selection! Sadly, they do not ship to Canada...

Aiveen Daly

New upholstery can not only transform a piece of furniture, but also dramatically transform the room it sits in. Recovering vintage furniture from any era is one of the most creative aspects to decorating a room. It is far more interesting than buying everything new and is definitely a more environmentally sustainable approach. Aiveen Daly takes upholstery to a new level, by creating bespoke couture upholstery designs in a luxurious array of original textiles, and with fine details like pleats, ribbon and buttons. Here are some of examples of her work:


This floor to ceiling panel is covered in an early Timorous Beasties fabric.





Here a Victorian ottoman is covered in a retro Swedish union linen. The seat lifts up to reveal storage inside, lined with tangerine cotton.


This chair was a commission for Elle Deco and Liberty of London. It is covered in an eclectic mix of Liberty shirt fabrics.




'Moneypenney', as this chair is called, is upholstered in Herringbone Tweed, with handmade frill, piping and buttoned suit detailing.


This chair was upholstered in Hemp and goatskin for shoe designer Rupert Sanderson's store in Mayfair.

Creation Baumann

Creation Baumann has a wonderful line of sheer curtain fabrics called Cerberus, specifically designed to work with the large amount of glass used in contemporary architecture. It can be very tricky to try and provide privacy and shade without hindering the aesthetic, expansive and luminous effect that these windows and walls have on the interior space.


These fabrics work well because they add a simple elegance and interest to the windows without detracting or adding heaviness to the clean and simple lines of a a large glass wall or window.




The fabrics come in stripe designs, contrast-rich checks, ingenious gauze weaves, distinctive jacquard, textured weaves, elegant plissé fabrics and blended effect yarn to generate a delicate rib effect. The colour range is very simple; white, beige, black, anthracite and grey. The gauze weaves are also available in metallic shades.

Romo

Romo is a family run furnishing and upholstery fabric company based in Nottinghamshire, and I find the design and quality of their fabrics to be consistently excellent.





In their new Sarona collection I am quite taken with these soft vintage style shades in a tactile linen blend.










I also love the Roselli collection's silk and velvet stripe. The narrow lines give that opulent fabric a modern feel.




For an over the top luxury statement, there is the Tula silk collection in luscious shades of magenta, burgundy and rose.
