Nouveau No.1 Velvet Fabric
Nouveau Velvet No.1 is a richly decorative velvet upholstery fabric inspired by the flowing forms, botanical elegance, and refined ornamentation of the Art Nouveau movement. Featuring a repeating fan-like leaf motif arranged in a symmetrical geometric structure, this design balances natural inspiration with architectural precision, creating a fabric that feels both timeless and strikingly contemporary.
The colour palette combines deep sapphire blue, vibrant teal, emerald green, and soft chartreuse accents to create a luxurious and energetic visual effect. The layered leaf forms appear almost jewel-like against the darker background, giving the fabric exceptional depth and movement. Inspired by the decorative craftsmanship of the early twentieth century, the design brings together botanical motifs and elegant symmetry in a way that feels sophisticated rather than traditional.
As a printed velvet fabric rather than a woven design, every intricate detail of the artwork remains beautifully defined. The soft velvet surface enhances the richness of the colours while introducing texture and warmth to the finished scheme. Suitable for curtains, blinds, sofas, armchairs, headboards, cushions, and bespoke upholstery projects, Nouveau Velvet No.1 is particularly effective where colour and pattern are intended to become a focal point.
Whether styled within Art Nouveau-inspired interiors, contemporary maximalist schemes, or luxury boutique settings, this fabric introduces a sense of craftsmanship, colour, and decorative elegance that immediately elevates a room.
