Nouveau No.12 Upholstery Fabric
Nouveau No.12 presents a refined and intricately detailed interpretation of the Art Nouveau movement, offering a richly patterned Art Nouveau upholstery fabric that blends decorative precision with organic influence. This design takes inspiration from stylised shell and fan motifs, a recurring feature in early 20th-century interiors, reimagined here with a contemporary monochrome elegance.
Set against a soft, neutral-toned base, the pattern is composed of repeating scallop-like forms, each radiating outward in fine linear detail. These fan-shaped motifs are layered closely together, creating a dense, rhythmic surface that feels both structured and fluid. Accented with delicate dot work and subtle tonal contrasts in charcoal and soft black, the design achieves a sense of depth while maintaining a calm, cohesive aesthetic.
The restrained colour palette makes this fabric highly versatile, ideal for interiors that favour texture and pattern without strong colour dominance. Perfect for headboards, cushions or upholstery projects where detail can be appreciated up close, it delivers a sophisticated and timeless finish.
