Expressionism No.1 Upholstery Fabric
Bring painterly energy and tactile richness into your space with Expressionism No.1 Upholstery Fabric — a vibrant design where movement and stillness collide. The surface is alive with swirling brushstrokes in reds, blues, greens and golden yellows, evoking the emotive intensity of Expressionist painting. At the centre of this layered turbulence floats a delicate lotus, its soft pink petals offering a moment of stillness within the storm.
Digitally printed on a high-quality linen blend, this multicoloured upholstery fabric is ideal for transforming statement armchairs, mid-century accent pieces or contemporary cushions. The surface texture and tonal complexity reward close inspection and create visual drama in both modern and vintage-inspired interiors.
