Art Meets Nature & Texture

THE ART OF TRANQUILLITY
A deep sense of renewal pervades Kasuri fabrics and wallpapers. Warm tones, rustic textures, and age-old techniques inspire the collection, which unfolds in layers of transitional style and the art of Japanese living, ingrained with the essence of Harlequin.
“Embracing the beauty of art and the materials used, Kasuri feels very special in its transitional style. Tactility is super important, reflected in featured weaves, embroideries, and the soothing yet impactful, wide-width wallpapers. To design in Kasuri is to inhabit the art of Japanese living with the texture and tonality of Harlequin.” Flora Daly, lead designer.
Highly textural woven fabrics define the collection. Japanese-inspired weave and embroidery techniques reveal warp print jacquards, vertical striés and full-coverage embroideries encapsulated in a restful yet inspiring collection for interiors.
Art meets nature in every brush mark and stitch. Wood grain wallpapers pair with intriguing, printed designs. Mixing digital printing with traditional techniques creates beautiful effects. All-over embosses reference papyrus papers for textural finishes, while metallic sheens add lustre and elevation to schemes.
From a silk kimono, a new addition to the Harlequin archive, to the unique formations of the bonsai tree and warp-printed jacquards, coordinating and complementing designs make up Kasuri, where artistic interpretation and sleek use of materiality take precedence.
ZIG-ZAG SIGNATURE
Akari Weaves is a go-to book of statement weaves, textured and versatile.
Twelve colourways offer a contemporary palette of blues and greens with warmer hues, elevating the chevron design with natural shades of Oat, floods of Azul, and threads of Kelly green. For a little more spice, shades of Harisa and Positano add warmth and depth, while Truffle and Storm bring earth’s wild nature to this collection.
The timeless chevron stands bold on its own, with a zig-zag signature that gives texture to design schemes. This new woven fabric looks impactful and is incredibly durable, layering organically in design schemes and cocooning interiors with texture and tactility.

STYLE, INSIDE AND OUT
Indoor Outdoor Weaves II reveals the next chapter of woven indoor outdoor fabrics.
“Extending our portfolio of woven outdoor fabrics, these new weaves bring scale, colour and detail to schemes, with performance credentials woven in. It is exciting to present a design-led collection that considers environmental impact.” Claire Greenfield, lead designer at Harlequin.
While neutral tones of chalk and taupe ground the collection, the colours woven in set Indoor-Outdoor Weaves II apart, enhancing each design for a dynamic and durable collection of fabrics. From this palette, stripes, ombres, check stripes, and tile-inspired designs combine for a detailed and beautifully woven book of indoor and outdoor weaves.
Each weave is produced from textile waste and recycled fibres, specially developed to create sustainable furnishing fabrics. The weaves are treated with a specialist finish that includes water repellence and stain resistance, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor environments.
Hints of iris, aqua and indigo come to the fore in stripes and intricate small scales. Mallard, a new colour, adds a bold layer to these distinctive fabrics, not to mention Black Earth, which elevates interiors indoors and out.
TEXTBOOK TEXTURE
Sgraffito II is the perfect coordinating collection of weaves to layer with designs across our extensive fabric portfolio. Key designs meet exciting new textural additions and an expanded colour palette in this iconic collection. Buttermilk tones, paprika threads, and twists of blue characterise the colourways for a crisp take on classic weaves.
PLAIN TALKING
Ario, a drapery fabric made of recycled fibres and cotton, is a versatile new addition to Harlequin’s expanding library of plain fabrics.
A wonderfully usable cloth, Ario is available in standard and wide widths in an extraordinary range of 38 colours.
Ario has unique characteristics, including a fine slub texture and ease of movement. Recycled polyester and cotton weave together to form an elegant fabric for design schemes where sustainability is a key consideration. Grounded neutrals, mineral tones, sweet shades of red and pink, fresh greens and blues come together in Ario, layering across the Harlequin portfolio for a fabric of lasting appeal and sustainable quality.
PURE DECORATION
“Purity Edit is a collection of much-loved designs from the Harlequin portfolio, bringing subtle hints of glamour in soft sheens, shimmers and beaded papers, and beautiful layers of embroidery. Purity Edit perfectly encapsulates a sense of calm and tranquillity in interiors.” Claire Greenfield, Lead Designer, Harlequin.
Recognisable designs steal the show in a tranquil colour palette of soft neutrals, where hand-drawn designs, climbing floral trails and lace-inspired details captivate, and coordinating fabrics and wallpapers set the scene. In wallpapers, textures, subtle shimmers, and detailed embellishments delicately shine, bringing tactility and subtle glamour to interiors with these hero designs.
Fabrics unravel in embroidered beauty. Highly textured, a thoughtful, muted palette brings these iconic designs together in one harmonious collection. Embroideries bring naturalistic designs of leafy trails, floating feathers and interpretive damasks to life. Purity Edit presents an understated twist on a decorative collection.
