Dessau No.17 Upholstery Fabric
A bold geometric masterpiece softened by an earthy palette, Dessau No.17 captures the experimental spirit of Bauhaus-inspired design. This green abstract upholstery fabric features an irregular patchwork of interlocking shapes in soft sage, warm sand, chalky cream, terracotta red, and charcoal grey. The layered blocks evoke a painterly texture, like brushstrokes over linen—creating a complex depth that feels both modern and timeless.
Perfect for reupholstering armchairs, sofas, ottomans, or even bold panelled headboards, Dessau No.17 adds striking rhythm to any space without overwhelming it. The calming green base anchors the design, while the hints of burnt orange and steel bring contrast and movement. Whether you’re creating a serene mid-century reading corner or injecting personality into a modern living space, this fabric makes a confident yet considered statement.
Part of the Dessau Upholstery Fabric Collection, Dessau No.17 is printed on a durable basecloth suitable for domestic upholstery and soft furnishings.
