Made for Living Spaces

Some fabrics are made for quiet rooms.
Fame is made for spaces that live.

From the first morning meeting to the last dinner of the evening, some interiors never stand still. People arrive, move, gather, and return. Restaurants, airports, offices, hospitality environments, and public spaces share one thing: constant life and movement. This is exactly where Fame belongs. Combining strength, flexibility and refined wool quality, the fabric offers 200,000 Martindale and is designed to perform beautifully in high-traffic interiors over time.

More Than an Update

Fame has long been a trusted choice for designers. With the 2026 update, the palette is not replaced, but revitalised.19 new colours shape an updated palette of 52 tones, designed to work seamlessly together. Among the new additions, warm ochres, sepia tones and nuanced earthy shades introduce a richer and more high-end colour direction. The result is a more flexible and contemporary palette, where new and familiar shades interact, deepen and elevate one another. It is not about starting over, but about strengthening what already works; familiar quality, renewed through continuity.

Made to Follow Form

Crafted from fine-worsted wool, Fame reveals a silky-smooth surface with natural depth. Designed to move with the form, the fabric features bi-directional stretch, allowing it to adapt effortlessly in both directions. The result is precise upholstery, a clean fit and an elegant finish, even on rounded and organic shapes.

A material where softness meets control, balancing flexibility and precision in a way that feels, as considered, as it looks.
