Dessau No.1 Upholstery Fabric
A bold celebration of colour and form, Dessau No.1 is a multicoloured upholstery fabric that encapsulates the spirit of the Bauhaus movement with a contemporary twist. Blocks of lilac, olive, blush pink, teal, ochre, and cream intersect across a softened black grid, creating an abstract yet harmonious rhythm that makes this design ideal for statement furniture pieces.
Printed on a high-quality upholstery-weight basecloth, this fabric is suitable for armchairs, footstools, benches, and even upholstered wall panels. The vintage-style colour palette and hand-finished texture lend a rich artistic feel, making it a favourite among those seeking modern abstract upholstery fabric with retro roots.
As part of the Dessau Upholstery Fabric Collection, this design celebrates Bauhaus geometry with expressive colour pairings. If you’re styling an eclectic or mid-century modern interior, consider coordinating with other pieces from our Multicoloured Upholstery Fabric Collection for a layered and curated feel.
For customers who appreciate expressive design, this pattern also aligns with our Abstract Upholstery Fabric Collection, offering visual depth and personality in every application.
