Dreaming of fleeing the cold and dreary weather/thinking of warm sunny beaches, well why not use summer colours all year round in your home and designer Manuel Canovas fabrics and wallpapers are your solution.
Faithful to the French art de vivre and with a sense of nostalgia recalling the 18th century, the house of Manuel Canovas is constantly inspired by journeys to exotic locations and rare archival documents. Renowned for their vibrant colour harmonies and chic prints, the Canovas collections also feature embroideries, woven plains in extensive colour ranges, luxurious velvets, elegant damasks, stripes and striking toiles de jouys. An outdoor collection offers a link between interior and exterior with fabrics that match the uniqueness of Canovas with contemporary living experience.
The foremost French fabric house, best known for its spectacularly coloured toile de jouy wallpapers, has extended their range to include beautifully coloured large-scale pictorial papers in vivid colours. Recent collections capture perfectly the exquisite detail of elegant engravings depicting historic and decorative scenes derived from their signature print designs
The Manuel Canovas 2016 collection transports us to India on a journey along the Coromandel Coast, amidst the seventeenth century vestiges of colonial Pondicherry, surrounded by scents of musk and garlands of frangipani flowers... In a harmony of Canovas colours, our fabrics evoke the ornamental patterns drawn in chalk on the pavements of the French district of thisformer colony.
In bright, fresh hues, this collection features broad ikat prints, relief medallions revisited, traceries of symmetrical embroidered ribbons, stripe weaves replicating the decorative borders of saris, paisley prints magnified ad infinitum, stylisedjasmine and banyans flowers... the ethnic inspirations of a far-off land are transposed onto original materials available in typical Canovas shades, giving them a more modern style and remaining faithful to French taste.”
