Athens Upholstery Fabric

Athens Upholstery Fabric – 140cm Wide

Athens is a woven upholstery collection that pairs classic textures with timeless patterns: plain weaves, a rose floral, houndstooth, tartan and stripes. Every design is treated with Instalimp, so the fabric resists liquids and stains and is easier to keep clean. It suits sofas, armchairs, headboards, cushions and curtains.

Choose your design

• Diana, Pisa and Roma: plain woven textures in a wide range of colours, from soft neutrals to terracotta, teal, mustard, green, rose, burgundy and charcoal.
• Maryle: a large-scale rose floral, in a choice of colourways.
• Jerte: a classic houndstooth.
• Celtic: a woven tartan check.
• Arpa: a bold stripe.
• Ceramic: a fine two-tone weave that pairs with any of the patterns.

The designs are made to be mixed, so you can upholster in a plain and add cushions in the floral, check or stripe.

Good to know

Cushion interiors must be lined, and arms should be well padded to avoid flattening the fabric. Colours may vary slightly from your screen, so if an exact match matters, contact us for a cutting before you order.
