With knowledge and expertise across print and woven fabrics, the design team can create something unique for a given project, to create distinctive interior solutions. Each year Skopos also designs textile collections, which are brought into the portfolio, readily available for Skopos customers. With a choice of thousands of fabrics in the current collections, the possibilities are endless when it comes to Bespoke design; a change of colour or yarn for a Bespoke brand; or a new print design that can help customers stand out.

Design accounts for one part of the story of Skopos’ success and the second part of the jigsaw is the skilled team of manufacturers, delivering finished soft furnishing products, all MADE here in the UK. The Skopos team produce approximately 25,000 made-up items each year, including bed-throws, cushions and pairs of curtains, all manufactured by a highly-skilled team of machinists, cutters and pattern makers; items that are delivered and installed into different contract environments.
