This is ‘Kansas’ from Stolz, a semi aniline leather which over time has developed a good shine.

Rich, luxurious and speaking of fine wines and cocktails, this red leather at Barood is a truly great red. By Matthew Shang Design Office: msdesignoffice.net

Liberty Fabrics

pixadmin — Fri, 21 Aug 2020 08:33:04 +0000

Liberty is our oldest collection with Arthur Liberty opening in London’s Regent Street in 1875. He traded exotic goods and textiles from the ‘Far East’ and worked with artisans and manufacturers to make his own textiles and objects d’art. By the 1890’s Liberty Art Fabrics were at the forefront of avant-garde design.

The Futur Liberty collection fascinates us, an exploration of Liberty’s extensive archive and inspired by the Futurism and Vorticism movements. The result is a collection of intense and optimistic designs. On the chaise is shadow stripe weave in jade, this is a design that looks good in many a space and the scale and texture is perfect.

Floating Palace is a wallpaper from the Botanical Atlas collection: romantic, rich and sophisticated it is printed on a foilised paper but also is available in a velvet, and in two other paper colourways. View this wallpaper collection here on Liberty Fabric’s page

What more do you want than a pavilion made of fabric with a huge bunch of flowers starring ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ in the middle. From the new Botanical Atlas fabric collection these lovely images speak for themselves. Visit Botanical Atlas fabric collection here.

Silk Tree is Liberty Fabrics’ joyful and contemporary re-interpretation of a Chinoiserie design. A canopy of trees and bamboo branches shoot upwards, elongating your room, and are decorated with birds, butterflies, Persian silk tree flowers, Chinese physalis, amaryllis, and peonies. Printed either on 100% linen or a wallpaper in several charming colour-ways.

Vertigo Weave is dynamic with good texture and a ton of energy. Pictured here is Vesuvio which is one of the ‘great reds’, and there are 2 other colours, Piccadilly, and Sahara.

Evanescent is fabulously bold, colourful and playful, yet it is sophisticated taking its lead from Futurist paintings. A printed linen it comes in two scales.

A graceful geometric that references Japanese Obi belt design.

Obi Check is a subtle textured weave.

in approximately 1900. This design was redrawn by David Haward’s Studio, who use it to create everything

Your furniture and upholstery are integral to a room and we endeavour to bring joy to your space, plus hopefully inspiring and educating too.

It is not always cheaper to re-upholster or make your own piece, but you are guaranteed quality and many of our clients enjoy the creative process.

Stripes are timeless, always smart they can lengthen or widen your furniture and upholstery. But it takes some thinking, which direction to run the stripe, especially the arms, if the stripe is wide should where to centre it, should you self pipe? It is interesting how the thin yellow Liberty stripe is worked across the arms on the sofa to the left.

These beautiful ottomans are upholstered in Misia-Paris’s graceful textiles. Luxurious and elegant, a well done ottoman becomes a piece in your room, and they are awfully useful too.

Velvet upholstery

The pile on velvet provides new challenges, ideally the velvet must run downwards, like cat fur. If it is very plush you may need piping, and for good velvet piping an experienced upholsterer is required. The quality of the velvet is very important and we are more than happy to show you the different types such as cotton, viscose or polyester, they all have their pros and cons.

Great fabric design, textures, colours & patterns, means an overwhelming myriad of choice nowadays. We try to help you refine decisions taking into account your aesthetic, functional requirements and budget.
