Populist No.5 Upholstery Fabric
Infused with rich mid-century tones and striking architectural rhythm, Populist No.5 Upholstery Fabric is a confident, characterful textile for interiors that favour boldness over neutrality. The print draws on graphic language and urban geometry—arches, pillars, and circular cuts that layer visually across a dynamic repeat.
Printed on a tactile natural fibre blend, the fabric has excellent body and durability, making it ideal for upholstery projects that aim to make a design statement. The palette balances teal, rust orange, mustard, off-white, and dark olive, lending it a warmth that feels retro yet grounded. Whether used on armchairs, headboards or ottomans, this design helps anchor a scheme with movement and depth.
As part of the Populist Upholstery Fabric Collection, this design plays well with other graphic prints. You can explore our wider All Upholstery Fabrics if you’re curating a layered look. If you're drawn to the earthy vibrancy of this palette, the Orange Upholstery Fabric collection is also worth exploring.
