Nouveau No.8 Velvet Fabric
Nouveau Velvet No.8 embraces the more refined and architectural side of Art Deco design, pairing flowing linear movement with a sophisticated monochromatic palette. Delicate gold lines sweep across a dramatic charcoal-black background, creating a sense of rhythm and elegance reminiscent of luxury hotel interiors, vintage cocktail lounges, and the decorative metalwork that defined the golden age of Art Deco. The result is a fabric that feels understated from a distance yet richly detailed upon closer inspection.
Printed onto a luxurious 100% polyester velvet basecloth, this is a printed velvet fabric rather than a woven fabric, allowing every fine metallic-inspired line and subtle tonal variation to remain crisp and beautifully defined. The soft velvet pile enhances the richness of the dark background while creating a tactile finish that feels both contemporary and timeless. With a durability rating of 40,000+ Martindale rubs, Nouveau Velvet No.8 combines decorative sophistication with practical durability.
Suitable for a wide range of interior applications including sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, occasional seating, footstools, benches, cushions, headboards, and bespoke upholstery projects, this fabric is equally effective as a velvet curtain fabric or for Roman blinds. The elegant black and gold colour palette works particularly well alongside brass accents, dark wood furniture, marble surfaces, smoked glass, and layered neutral interiors.
Whether used to create a dramatic statement sofa or elegant full-length curtains, Nouveau Velvet No.8 introduces depth, texture, and refined glamour without overwhelming a space. Samples are available for customers wishing to experience the colour and velvet texture before purchasing, and the fabric is available by the metre for projects of any scale.
