Our fabulous new outdoor/indoor collection Savanna has arrived and it’s looking amazing!
Savanna started life as a written brief: To create a contemporary, high quality, multipurpose range of fabrics. One that's tough enough for
outdoor use but with a look and feel of interior fabric. Inspiration-wise we were drawn to African artisan patterns; motifs from basketry
and carving, and colours from natural adobe pigments. The collection includes 2 geometric designs, a stylish stripe, a textured plain and a
zebra hide pattern. Available in 4 colourways, Linen, Adobe, Spice and Jungle.Savanna is expertly woven in Belgium by a renown 4th
generation family-owned mill. The yarn ticks all the boxes: an excellent lightfastness of 7, 30,000 Martindale rubs, washable, water
repellant finish, anti-microbial and Oeko-tex certified.
Savanna sampling is in our showrooms now and with our agents. Our Sales team look forward to introducing the collection to you in the coming
days. Click HERE to see the collection page or click HERE

We’re welcoming Spring in style with five new collections from Arte, each highlighting their cutting-edge printing techniques and masterful
use of natural materials. Pampas captures the essence of grasscloth textures, while Washed Linen and Brushed Suede showcase refined paint effects. Green House by Mooi stands out with bold, high-impact
designs, and All Naturals celebrates true artisanal craftsmanship. Sample books are now available in our showrooms
and with our agents.
We look forward to sharing these stunning collections with you.
With taglines like ‘Anything is possible’ and ‘Kissed by curiosity’ Carlucci’s 2024 release Cosmic Kiss is bold, eclectic and opulent. The
breadth of this collection is extraordinary: figured velvets, highly textured bouclés, intricate embroideries, large-scale prints and
glamorous faux-silks all combine to create an inspiring feast of luxury fabrics and wallcoverings. Italian craftsmanship, innovation and
modern elegance are to the fore. A design like Time Traveller epitomises this with its stunning fusion of velvet construction, geometric
motifs, ombre colours and strié texture. Download the brochure HERE

Earlier today I received an email from Ross Mitchell (Head of International Relationships at Andrew Martin) with the news that they are now accepting submissions for the 2024 Andrew Martin Interior Designer of the Year award.
This award, and the associated publication, is a beautiful celebration of interior design from all corners of the globe. And we are always thrilled to see Australasian designers included as finalists - and perhaps a overall winner one day. It's such a fabulous way to broaden the reach of your practice to an international audience.

Best of luck!

Have a fabulous weekend everyone.
We're buzzing about this one: Carlucci's 2023 release is here and it's so fabulous! Inspired by the Côte d’Azur, Carlucci's designers have infused this collection with the sights, textures and colours of this beautiful part of the world.
The radiant colours of southern France like hibiscus, azure blue and intense chartreuse shine through, with plenty of sophisticated colour combos and melange yarns.
The prints are show stoppers: We're loving the picturesque scenes in Love of Life, the groovy Coast of Colours and mysterious Stay Forever...
The velvets are stunning - running from elegant smooth looks (Slow Mo Velvet) to distinctive textures like Be Glad and Infinity Velvet...
Of special note are the solution dyed outdoor designs, including a beautiful drapery design (Lightscape) and chunky upholsteries...
We've selected the opulent embroidery Palm Bay as our showroom display drops...
I've really only scratched the surface here - with 48 different designs Love of Life is broad and full of surpirses. You can see the Love of Life brochure HERE for more inspiration. In the coming weeks we will be adding the collection to the website so stay tuned!
I'm sure you all know this by now but just in case!... Industry on Arthur is happening Thursday evening. It's always a fabulous night and we can't wait to see you here (18 Arthur Street). Our Spring releases are a must-see. Carlucci's 2023 collection 'Love of Life' alone is worth dropping by for. Here are a few images to whet your design appetite...
See you Thursday!
Please note that due to Air NZ flight changes Joanne has moved her showing to the earlier time of 11am. She's looking forward to seeing you at our Auckland showroom on Thursday.

Here's something for clients in the Auckland region. Next Thursday I'll be presenting the glorious new Spring release from Carlucci: Love of Life. Invitations are heading to your inbox this morning. Please send in your RSVP as soon as you can. This is a lunch presentation so numbers are very limited.
Along side Carlucci's latest I'll be showing new designs from Arte Contract and our own stock releases, including our limited edition Artisan Stripes. I look forward to seeing you at the Auckland showroom - 27 Burleigh St, Mt Eden.
We love being part of this event! It's always a fun, fabulous evening - packed with gorgeous product, beautiful people and delicious treats.
This year the theme is Design In Colour which ties in perfectly with our new Spring collections. We do hope you call in at 18 Arthur St and see us - there's loads to see.
Something definitely worth noting: Andrew Martin's latest release Secret Garden uses Ecofast™ pigment inks.
In a nutshell Ecofast is all about lowering energy and water consumption while maintaining performance and high definition colour.
Ecofast is a digital printing process that requires little heat setting and reduces water consumption by over 50% when compared to conventional printing. So lots of environmental wins with this process.
Ecofast fabrics also happen to be anti-micobial, lightfast (6 - 7), anti-mildew - and abrasion, stain and shower resistant. So ticking loads of boxes and I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more Ecofast prints in the future.
Next Tuesday we're hosting an Open Day - we'd love to see you here (179 Palmer St,
Darlinghurst).
We have all our beautiful Spring collections on the tables and are looking forward to introducing them to you. With new releases from Zimmer
+ Rohde, Travers, Etamine, Textilia, Andrew Martin and our new designs - there's plenty to see.
As this is a catered event we'd love you send an RSVP in - sydneyshowroom@uniquefabrics.com.au
Our Artisan Stripes collection is here!
Designed with linen connoisseurs in mind, it's a limited edition release, hand printed by a local screen printer.
Using eco-friendly, water-based pigment inks these designs are washable (cold water wash only) and Sanforized to minimize shrinkage. The base-cloth is a heavy 100% linen - perfect for upholstery, loose covers and accessories. Please note these stripes are NOT suitable for drapery and blinds.
We are currently making a very limited number of hangers and A5 swatches. Your Unique Account Manager will be showing this special collection soon.
This week is the last opportunity to purchase our Sale fabrics. There's still plenty of designs on offer. We have steadily been adding rolls
