Kintsu No.8 Japanese Velvet Upholstery Fabric
Opulent, energetic, and full of movement, Kintsu No.8 brings together the elegance of traditional Japanese design with the plush richness of modern velvet upholstery fabric. Featuring gold koi darting between stylised waves and dramatic florals, the design is alive with symbolism and texture. The deep navy background sets the stage for accents of teal, white, red, and gold—perfect for interiors that lean bold, luxurious, and culturally inspired.
Digitally printed onto a smooth, 140cm-wide velvet basecloth with a 28cm pattern repeat, this fabric is suitable for upholstery, blinds, and curtains. Its high durability rating makes it both beautiful and practical—a standout within our Kintsu Velvet Upholstery Fabric Collection.
Looking to layer with texture? Pair this rich velvet with one of the coordinating designs in the Kintsu Linen Upholstery Fabric Collection for a mixed-finish scheme full of depth and narrative. The midnight tones also shine within our curated Blue Upholstery Fabric range, offering a theatrical alternative to classic navies and teals.
