Cranes red

Cranes Red from Voyage Maison’s Kyotogardens collection is a fabric with a natural-looking linen slub and a softly matte surface that suits its brushed, painterly motif. The composition is 82% viscose and 18% linen, giving the cloth a smooth handle with enough texture to keep the print from feeling flat. In this colourway, the cranes are picked out in deep crimson, burgundy and wine tones against a pale, chalky ground, so the design reads moody rather than bright. With a 138cm width, a 66.5cm horizontal repeat and 53cm vertical repeat, it has the scale and rhythm for prominent upholstery or flowing drapery. It is iron safe, spot clean only, and has no noted fire-retardant performance.

The cool off-white ground and dark red birds work well in rooms with oak, blackened metal or soft stone finishes. Use it where you want pattern with restraint, especially on a statement armchair, curtains or cushions over neutral upholstery.
