Dessau No.16 Upholstery Fabric
A celebration of structure and rich earthy tone, Dessau No.16 brings a textural, modernist quality to any upholstered piece. Inspired by the geometric abstraction of early 20th-century design, this multicoloured upholstery fabric combines olive green, burnt orange, mustard and cream in a fragmented grid layout that nods to the Bauhaus aesthetic. Whether used on statement armchairs, structured sofas, or mid-century footstools, its rhythmic repetition and bold, blocky composition creates a grounded yet expressive design statement.
The upholstery fabric is printed on a durable woven basecloth with a subtle texture that enhances the layered colour fields. Ideal for general domestic use, Dessau No.16 is part of our Dessau Upholstery Fabric Collection, which explores colour, repetition and contrast through architectural prints.
For those looking to work with similar tones, explore our Green Upholstery Fabric Collection, or contrast it with the graphic simplicity of the Weimar Upholstery Fabric Collection. You can also browse the full Upholstery Fabric Collection for more expressive designs.
