Introducing Harvest Moon

24 November 2025

We were thrilled to hear Kit Kemp and Andrew Martin were working on another collaboration. Their first two projects were hugely successful - the eponymous Fabric and Wallpaper collections. The wallpaper design Mythical Land and fabric Friendly Folk in particular received a lot of love from our clients.
Their new release is the joyful Harvest Moon, a magical collection of prints, embroideries, wallpapers, tapestries and upholstery designs. Harvest Moon beautifully re-creates naive and folk art motifs and hand painted looks. We especially love the hand crafted touches of embroidery and appliqué. It's all combines to create a charming and highly usable range.
See the collection page HERE. Our Sales team and Agents are currently showing Harvest Moon. They look forward to seeing you.

New next week - Above the Clouds!

03 October 2025

Some exciting news for Monday (6 October): It's release-day for Above the Clouds, Carlucci's 2025 collection of fabrics and wallcoverings. And what a singular collection it is!
As the name suggests the Carlucci designers have beautifully captured the ever-changing splendor of the skyscape with dreamy layered colours, filigree textures and dynamic patterning. The wallcoverings in particular have really caught our eye. If you are looking for statement grasscloths when do check out the Shapes of Beauty book.
Above the Clouds is another fabulous example of Carlucci's 'relaxed glamour' that is never boring, always elegant and wonderfully tactile. 
See the Above the Clouds brochure HERE. See the collection page HERE.

Introducing Salone - Houlès latest

11 September 2025

We were so excited to hear about this: Houlès and Michael Aiduss have teamed up again for their second collaboration, called Salone. True to form it’s another stunning collection of elegant, characterful passementerie.
Salone is inspired by early Italian modernist architecture and offers a diverse range of looks - from botanical motifs, to hints of classicism and Ponti-esque geometrics. If you’re a fan of passementerie and the magical things it can do to an interior then call into a Unique showroom and see Salone.
Our Account Managers and Agents look forward to introducing you to this beautiful collection.
