With Versi Liberi, the refined customisation of “custom made” encounters the immediacy of “ready-made”.
The Dedar offering of placed motifs for backrests, seating and cushions facilitates the introduction of a highly impacting expressive element to interior projects. A classic of the textile tradition has been radically reinvented to become a contemporary icon of style.
The Versi Liberi fabrics for backrests and seats come in pieces measuring 70 x 90 cm. They present exclusive new designs executed in embroidery or complex printing techniques on textural grounds from the Dedar collection. Poised between abstract motifs, figurative references, and subtle astral evocations, they lend themselves to the interpretations and uses dictated by personal flair and inspirations. By responding to the requirements of each interior design project, they enable it to express a new language. In terms of performance, they are inspired by the principle of practicality, ensuring peace of mind in normal conditions of use.
Versi Liberi enables the creation of coordinated chairs, armchairs and other furnishing elements in a way that is simple yet endowed with a strong personality. It emphatically reinvents the traditional textile genre of the placed motif, by combining its refinement and expressive vigour, while inviting it to join the contemporary design scene. In the flowery tradition in vogue from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries, the chairs of a room played the same narrative role as a tapestry; their sequence revealed a mobile and detailed illustrated story. In the pieces of Versi Liberi, the same narrative logic is reinterpreted in a contemporary key and applied to semi-figurative and abstract designs. In this way, a set of chairs recounts a story packed with movement and strongly imbued with personalisation, amidst slightly staggered motifs, repositioning, changes of distance and arrangements. Hence the start of a lively little jam session, ready to embrace ever new interpretations.
Thanks to elaborate embroidery and printing techniques, which confer a pronounced three-dimensionality, the fabrics of Versi Liberi add great character to the interior décor project. Personalisation and an intense expressive power create great energy. Even the choice of just a few pieces enables a special and unmistakable mood to pervade the interior. The fabric will transform any piece of furniture: on the Louis XVI armchair it grafts a note of modernity; when used on a piece of contemporary design, a special touch will come to the fore, making it quite unique.
Driven by Dedar’s vocation for discovery and interchange, a walk down memory lane has led to a most contemporary idea. The certainty of today’s savoir-faire and manufacturing precision supports a mingling of materials, knowhow, and diversified references. A personality of modern inspiration and a profound textile expertise, the art of embroidery and the chromatic intensity of printing come together in an “intimate blend”. These fabrics interpret the artistic gesture and suggest new perspectives; ever changing and precious variations generate interiors of unmistakable taste.
Soft graphic strokes capture the essence of thought and words in an oriental calligraphic motif. Gentle three-dimensional shapes in wool form a compact fringe embroidered with meticulous care, while the empty spaces of the Didgeridoo raffia and linen ground confer breathing space to the entire composition. The visual contrast is harmonious: the natural luminosity of the ground embraces the matt wooliness of the motif. The embroidery, executed using the velvet stitch technique, is fruit of mechanical precision and an artisanal sensitivity requiring time and great care for a result that is always unique. Used in different directions or off-center, the motif lends itself to free interpretations for backrests, decorative seating applications and cushions.
Soft white clouds float in a land of dreams. They are lavish wool curls that surface on a raffia and linen ground, that of Didgeridoo, in a billowing, embracing tangle. A harmonious contrast delights the eye and hand: the luminosity of textural raffia embraces the softness of matt wool yarn. The embroidery, executed on the back of the fabric using the curl stitch technique, is fruit of refined artisanal skill, requiring time and great care for a result that is always unique. Used in different directions or off-center, it is ideal for backrests and cushions and lends itself to bolder applications for decorative seating.
Rapid and colourful brushstrokes sweetly animate an abstract field of flowers: the vibrant strokes capture the artist’s spontaneous gesture, leaving a vivid trace on the canvas. As they gradually dissolve away from the dense center, the embroidered motif of wavy lines in different thicknesses and directions express themselves freely on the textural and luminous ground of Aristotele. The 60,000 random stitches overlap, mixing and varying in intensity five vivid colours in a palette of soft and contrasting shades. Used in different directions or off-center, the motif lends itself to free interpretations for backrests, decorative seating applications and cushions.
On gazing at the celestial vault: a glimpse of infinity provokes marvel and vertigo. Essential lines form an abstract motif, while embarking on an unexpected course. With over 50,000 cord embroidery stitches, this highly three-dimensional embroidery embellishes the textural raffia ground of Didgeridoo, while enhancing the nuances of green played out between vivid and deep colour tones. Used in different directions or off-centre, the motif lends itself to free interpretations for backrests, decorative seating applications and cushions.
A flowing uninterrupted gesture, like the dense paint the artist vigorously pours onto the canvas: the creative impetus leaves a vivid and vibrant mark. The double embroidery interlaces with fourteen metres of trimming which, using the Cornely technique, is applied to Aristotele, a luminous and textural fabric enhanced by fine white lines. The skilled handiwork of the expert artisans ensures that the start and finish of the precious embroidery is cleverly concealed, while three-dimensional effects and delicate mottling animate the surface. Used in different directions or off-centre, the motif lends itself to free interpretations for backrests, decorative seating applications and cushions.
A silent nebula whispers in space, held in an embrace of the blackest dust: enraptured, the eye turns to the dancing heavens. A wash of velvety micro flock is applied to the textural and uneven ground of Aristotele, thanks to the meticulous artisanal technique of screen printing. The contrast is accentuated between the opacity of the pigment that stands out in relief on the ground of natural tones, whose weave confers a subtle three-dimensionality to the surface. Used in different directions or off-centre, the motif lends itself to free interpretations for backrests, decorative seating applications and cushions.

The new Dedar collection creates a lively rhythm of variations when it comes to materials and techniques. It juxtaposes figurative and abstract elements, until the boundary between the two becomes seemingly inexistent. It reinterprets classical practices in a new key and introduces strictly contemporary treatments.
A truly rich line of new experiments becomes part of the Contemporary Archives family. A soft figurativism, at times tinged with oriental concepts, calls into question mountains and waterfalls, clouds and starry skies, butterflies, branches and samaras. The abstract, strong and immediate pictorial imagery of the Za wallcovering opens the way to new interpretations, new materials and unprecedented contrasts.
The embroidery is enriched with heterogeneous techniques, which animate the clash between materials and bring to life accurate and enigmatic graphical elements. Other patterns, wavering somewhere between figurative narrative and abstract styles, rely on unusual techniques, between laser-burnished micro-holes and warm material textures. But even the jacquards breathe life into unexpected combinations and evoke impossible abstract tapestries, tormented incisions, furrows in the ground all reminiscent of great Italian art.
The Texturologie category continues to explore the artistic potential of the material, drawing inspiration from the Modern Movement. Decisive movements create alternating rhythms, combining different thicknesses. Streaks and special dyes animate a lively debate between saturated, pale and mélange tones. On the rich slub textures, the contest between irregularity and rigour never sees a definitive winner.
The new Plain Classics are characterised by a woollen side and a silky side. Classic traditions such as tweed, and archetypes such as the chequered pattern, allow the story to come alive. A selection of the finest wools breathe life into exuberant, natural velvets characterised by a bright shine, in which the long fibres of mohair, kid mohair or alpaca fuel a sense of voluptuousness. Wild Katia silk is the protagonist of handcrafted fabrics that seamlessly combine contemporary tradition and craftsmanship, in a rich tapestry of complex yarns, materiality and unusual chromatic variations.
Among the other unexpected solutions found in the collection, a false plain in fullsection chenille – durable and stain-resistant – and an innovative stretch bouclette, characterised by a soft touch and exceptional ease of use.
The FR fabrics offer is substantial. A vibrant and sophisticated jacquard, moved by a syncopated rhythm and looseness of the structure, is accompanied by a delicately textured satin, as well as a variety of small seating designs, all resistant and washable as well as fire-retardant: rich, textured jacquards, slightly opaque, in which damiers and metallic hints, twisted and slub yarns, and chromatic weaves combine to create a strong style characterised by a practical spirit.
Is there life in space? We turn our gaze to the distant stars, allowing ourselves be overcome by the wonder and dizziness of the infinity stretching out before us. How Soon Is Now? interprets astral elements enriched by the magic of colour, following artists – from Kandinsky to Fontana – who have infused white canvases with their pictorial gestures. A precious and difficult satin stitch embroidery, threedimensional and textured, glides on the linen chintz: an abstract décor and a galaxy of different interpretations come together.
Ichi-Go Ichi-E, “an opportunity, an encounter”: an invitation to cherish the unrepeatable nature of the moment. A deep and saturated colour, which immediately makes an impact, expresses an equally immediate gesture. An instinctive brushstroke characterised by a pure artistic flair is made of hand-laid flock. Oscillating between painting and calligraphy, with imagery reminiscent of Yves Klein and Anish Kapoor, the surface, delicate to the touch and intense to the eye, creates a sharp contrast with the textured and luminous Aristotele background, in which the weaves emerge strong and three-dimensional.
An original insight invited a hand-laid artisan flock to bring its caressing stroke to an irregular surface: it paints mountains or waterfalls, Japanese clouds, an Indian ink landscape, in a floating frame that awakens different emotions in each person. The contrasts running through the Lilaz fabric are resolved harmoniously, like sea currents that oppose each other and then come together. The compact feel of the chequered-printed fabric is structured, yet infused with softness. The Minima Mirabilia background, a natural-looking basket weave, vibrates with colours and delicate metallic accents, while the gold imbues everything with an Art Deco flair.
Logical and at the same time random. Implacable and persuasive. A graphical pattern in a dense and irregular yarn draws imaginary itineraries on a uniform, shiny surface. In the undulating Cornely technique embroidery, corners and threads diverge and converge again, in an unresolved dispute between rigour and freedom. The labyrinth-like pattern characterising the Metametodo fabric embodies both the rule and the exception. The fine design with a decidedly Modern inspiration, and the elegant draping of the satin in fine and densely woven Aplomb merino wool, make it perfect for elegant and refined spaces.
An abstract and geometric tapestry: a fantastic, “impossible” artefact, as if it were a gift from a parallel and hypothetical art history. The careful study of the tonal passages of a 17th-century original has filled the forms of a composition closely inspired by the experience of the early 20th century artistic avant-gardes. The print, characterized by a very large ratio, unfolds on a textured and full-bodied weave. The result is a fabric with a soft and smooth feel, versatile to be used for seating, curtains and decor.
A boxing-themed narrative, between the figurative and the abstract, sculpts fragmented lines similar to incisions on a full and compact velvet. Faces, muscles, fists, jubilant gloves stretched out to the sky. A drawing whose story emerges only gradually, showcases all the agility and strength of boxing. Soft and dense, Goodfellas invites a cotton mélange thread and natural-toned linen into the ring. Like a modern Pompeian fresco or a jacquard transposition of Scorsese's Raging Bull, it reconciles an aggressive soul, refined workmanship and a strong artistic temperament.
Countless soft eyelets chase each other on the surface in a graphic glissando, capturing the light. A jazz rhythm made up of segmented strokes conjures an imagery of hands that run freely over the keys of a piano, to then give way to fleeting caresses. The technique used to create the small holes has left their outlines burnished, giving the fabric a chiaroscuro effect of unexpected depth. When backlit, its special magic offers itself boldly to the gaze. A Love Supreme, on an Aplomb background, drapes impeccably, like a Coltranean cascade of sound. Its refined character combines Art Deco echoes, futurist suggestions and references to the Russian avant-garde.
A satin made of the finest carded wool of Australian origin and Italian manufacture, characterised by an unmistakable feel. The exceptional quality of the superfine yarns (17.5 microns), and the seven processing steps that follow the weaving, give it an extraordinary softness. The wide range of colours extends from classic wool shades with a sartorial touch, to more decisive options with a Modern flair. A practical fabric, also thanks to its water-repellent properties. Ideally used for curtains, thanks to its light and elegant draping, as well as for seating, by virtue of its resistance characteristics.
If every fabric has its very own soul, Millais has two: between conjuring an open smile and evoking a penetrating gaze, it thrives on the edge of roughness. The quality of British wool and the elegance of Belgian linen combine in a compact basket weave. The mélange of the double piece dyeing accentuates the depth of the colours, between natural tones and extremely novel stitches. But above all, Millais stands out for its unique feel: the long processing steps have tempered the rigour of the material and infused a soft touch, finding a refined point of balance between the pleasant and the sustained nature of the fabric.
Extensive research has led to the development of an irresistible fabric. It has the personality of a fur, but it is not fur: it relies only on harmless and considerate shearings. Kid mohair, an exceptional quality yarn, bursts with exuberance and offers a great sense of pleasure. Velvet has angelic feel and a “philosophical” ability to transform spaces. The 7 cm long-pile allows the colours to pop, from pure white reminiscent of a lamb, to novel and bright shades. The two “sister” fabrics are equally voluptuous: Nonstop Ethereal Bliss, a white, dishevelled mohair with a long, curly pile, blends minimalism and seduction; Serene Splendour, a compact, informal alpaca, brings a subtle opacity to a pure natural white.
Irregular, full-bodied threads in multiple colours give life to an artisanal tweed made up of complex silk yarns and characterized by a strong textured quality. In the hand-spun Katia silk weave – a wilder tussah – the colours fade into each other within a single thread. In the cotton warp, space-dyeing gives a sense of depth to the colour. Like the other textured silks in this collection, Malesherbes is ideal for curtains: Serein, a streaked shantung characterized by a rather lively craftsmanship; Nicomaco, with its hints of modern jacquard geometries; Memorando, a delicate silk/wool checkerboard with a soft draping quality; Days Like Now, another shantung, bright and offering a crisp feel.
A strong and assertive jacquard fabric blends refined materials and techniques in a slub weave of thick ondé thread and a two-tone fil-à-fil cotton/linen warp. The rigorous texture, characterised by a sober and natural taste, boasts a rich personality animated by a textured chequered design, with a modern soul, and the rhythmic variation of the warp threads that creates the background movement. The fabric is made of high-quality fibres, with an entirely Italian supply chain: from the yarns, to the weaving, to the finishing process. It is characterised by a consistent, textured feel and a neutral colour range. It is excellent for seating designs.
In the FR offering of the new collection, a jacquard with a strong personality stands out, in which twisted and slub yarns come together. Imbued with a genuine artisanal spirit, it is a refined fabric, capable of thrilling those who love to discover exciting rarities. It expresses an authentic exoticism, like that of certain precious hand-woven rugs. The weave is characterized by an irregular rhythm that resembles a syncopated musical riff. The looseness creates further vibrations, moving the surface with plays of colour. Made of recycled fibres, fire-retardant, washable and durable, Aoxomoxoa is ideal for intense sitting use.
Here at Linwood, we have long been singing the praises of wool as a robust, eco-friendly fabric that defies passing trends. For our latest wool collection, we are thrilled to be using Romney wools. A centuries-old British breed, Romney sheep are renowned for their soft, strong fleeces that are used to make premium wool products that are guaranteed to stand the test of time.
Our new collection of upholstery weaves represents the best of British, from the quality of the wool to the finest spinners, dyers, weavers and finishers in Yorkshire and Lancashire.
Romney sheep are ‘long wool’ sheep, producing fleeces that are lustrous, strong and hardwearing, yet incredibly soft. The evolution of the breed over the centuries has resulted in the sheep developing fleeces that remain healthy in harsh weather, producing wool fibres that are perfect for both clothing and homewares. Another huge plus is that the fibre is predominantly white, so it can take any form of dye beautifully.
We are hugely excited to announce the launch of our Romney British Wool collection that combines the excellent qualities of Romney wool with the talents of the finest spinners, dyers, weavers and finishers, all based in Yorkshire and Lancashire. ‘The wool has been finished to give it a luxuriously soft texture, making it the perfect choice for upholstery as well as curtains,’ says Warrick Gloyn, Sales Director of Linwood. He continues, ‘It’s durable, eco-friendly, stain- and fire resistant by design, and it has been piece-dyed to provide an alluring array of colours.’
Products made using Romney Marsh wools contribute to a sustainable lifestyle as the wool is readily renewable as well as being entirely biodegradable, and it is ethically produced. ‘British wool textiles are affordable, practical and environmentally responsible,’ notes Warrick, adding, ‘As a British firm, we want to support British farmers and the industry – and so do our customers.’
Tactile, sustainable and British through-and-through, our new collection is a must for any interior, adding a sense of refinement and quiet luxury that people will never tire of.
The collection has been certified as 100% British wool by British Wool, and we are thrilled that it bears the coveted Shepherd’s Crook Mark.
Watch our video, which shares the story of this collection.
There are 23 colours and it is priced at £99.90 a metre (rrp).
