New geometric designs for Skopos base-cloths

Playful compositions of triangles, squares, circles and diamonds come together in elegant formations to create the new Skopos Oslo collection

Skopos’ latest collection, Oslo, features a creative mix of muted cool Nordic tones and playful bright colours and geometric shapes. Together with a horizontal organic stripe, the designs are a mix of neat graphic outlines and softer, natural forms, tuning into the ongoing trend for geometrics in interiors.

As with all of the Skopos print collections, Oslo is available on more than 14 base-cloths, including bedding, drape and upholstery qualities, a mix of velvets, linen-look and waterproof fabrics and with the new addition of an exquisite blackout velvet drape, there is a solution for all contract environments. All meeting the FR requirements for contract interiors, Oslo print provides a perfect solution for hospitality and leisure soft furnishings. Alongside Oslo, Skopos is also introducing a new wide width, wool-look fabric, called Farne. A simple textural washable plain, Farne is available for bedding, drape and cushions for a neat statement within contract interiors.

With almost 50 years’ specialist experience, Skopos provide high-quality flame retardant fabrics and soft furnishings to the contract market.

Defining the signature styles of many flagship hotels and cruise-liners, Skopos are dedicated to design, service and best performance. Its full service or fabric only option provides choice for the company’s customers, with expertise in design, make-up (curtains, cushions and bedding), fitting and installation. Its bespoke design and colour matching service provide the opportunity to create unique solutions.

Samples of both Oslo and Farne are available immediately.
