The Raphia fabric design is inspired by the fluid and visually engaging embroidery patterns created by the female textile artists of the Kuba Kingdom (now within the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The Kuba cloth features distinctively irregular applique and embroidered motifs, created with natural materials such as Raphia Vinifera Pal (raffia palm fibres), and we thought a fabric based on this style could be an excellent fabric for interiors.Raphia embodies this same blend of geometric embroidery paired with an earthy colour palette, lending itself particularly well for interiors purposes as the large bold patterns are balanced with subtle colours and intricate texture.Raphia is also available in colours Tobacco, Powder, Carob and CamwoodOrder sampleSold in metresCollection: RaphiaColour: ClayFabric type: CottonComposition: 100% cottonMartindale Test: 48,000Usage: Upholstery, curtains and blinds, soft furnishingsCare instructions: Dry clean onlyRoll width: 137cmHorizontal repeat: 66cm
