Waves No.9 Upholstery Fabric
Waves No.9 Upholstery Fabric takes a more abstract and atmospheric approach to ocean-inspired design, translating the movement of water into flowing, almost topographical lines. Set against a deep charcoal-black ground, fine streaks of warm gold and bronze create a striking contrast—evoking light catching the surface of water at dusk.
Rather than depicting waves literally, this design captures their rhythm and direction through layered, sweeping lines that feel fluid and continuous. The result is a sophisticated, contemporary pattern that introduces texture and motion without relying on traditional motifs.
The dark base gives this fabric a bold, architectural presence, making it particularly effective for modern interiors. It pairs beautifully with darker woods, matte metals, and minimalist spaces where contrast and subtle detailing can take centre stage. The warm metallic tones also soften the overall look, adding a sense of depth and refinement.
Digitally printed onto a durable upholstery basecloth, this fabric mimics the look of intricate woven texture while remaining a printed design. This ensures precision in every line and consistency across the pattern, making it both visually sharp and highly practical for upholstery applications.
