Abstract No.20 Crib5 Velvet Fabric
Restrained colour does not mean quiet design. Abstract No.20 uses sweeping black forms, cream negative space and small burnt-orange accents to create a graphic velvet with a strong silhouette. Organic marks suggest foliage and fish-like shapes, but the overall impression remains abstract and modern.
The near-monochrome palette makes it unusually versatile for such a confident print. It can define a hallway bench, sharpen a curved armchair or cover a sofa without introducing numerous competing colours. Build a focused scheme with choices from our black upholstery fabrics or soften the contrast through the neutral upholstery collection.
The design is printed on soft 100% polyester velvet with permanent Crib5 flame-retardant performance and a 40,000+ Martindale rub count. It is suited to domestic upholstery and to high-use commercial interiors, including restaurants, hotel bedrooms and reception seating. Further contract-ready prints appear in our Crib5 velvet range.
Abstract No.20 is 140cm wide with a 28cm repeat in both directions. The untreated fabric is £65 per metre and soil and stain treatment is £85. Order a £2 sample to check the black-to-cream balance and the way the pile changes under directional light.
