Fresco No.16 Upholstery Fabric
Fresco No.16 is a joyful celebration of colour and contrast—an abstract upholstery fabric bursting with vibrant shapes and painterly blocks. Against a soft blush-pink backdrop, pops of cobalt, mint, tangerine, scarlet, and forest green come together in a rhythmic dance of organic and geometric forms. With a nod to mid-century modern aesthetics, this fabric’s layered composition evokes the bold, playful energy of abstract art, perfectly suited to contemporary interiors seeking personality and flair.
Printed on our signature heavyweight basecloth, this design is ideal for statement armchairs, feature headboards, bold curtains, or creative soft furnishings. Whether you’re updating a vintage piece or designing from scratch, Fresco No.16 brings a distinctive artistic touch to any space. The material offers excellent durability and a soft hand-feel, making it suitable for both domestic and light contract use. Pair it with neutral tones to let the pattern shine or clash joyfully with other expressive pieces for a curated maximalist look.
