The 86 Art Deco Era Fabric: Rust, Teal & Sage Wave | Ziggurat Chumley Collection

About This Design

Deep rust and burnt orange move against teal and soft sage, broken by pale cream where the pattern breathes. The design behaves like ribbon caught mid-air, each band folding over the next without ever settling into stillness. Up close, the layered effect gives every curve a raised, textured edge, as if the colour itself carries weight. From across a room, the bands blur into a single continuous wave, rust bleeding into orange before the teal cuts back through. This is the loosest movement in the collection, forms that drift rather than repeat in strict formation. On fabric, that looseness reads as ease, a pattern that never feels forced into its shape. Where the other designs in the collection hold tighter rhythm, the 86 carries the widest breath between its folds, unhurried and confident in every curve.

The Inspiration

Named for the iron numeral nailed above an unmarked door on Bedford Street, the only sign that a room existed behind it. There was no name on the front, only a number those in the know would recognise on sight. This design carries that same quiet confidence, a pattern that doesn't announce itself, built instead on movement discovered rather than declared. The looseness in every curve reflects a room found by instinct, not directions, an entrance approached sideways rather than head-on.

What It Carries

There is a particular calm in something that doesn't need to explain itself, and The 86 holds onto that feeling long after the first glance. The bands never resolve into a fixed shape, so the eye keeps finding new movement within the same design. It suits a room meant for gathering without performance, somewhere conversation happens low and unhurried. Living with The 86 means living with motion that never quite finishes, a design that stays interesting because it never repeats itself the same way twice.

Design Size Options

This design is available in three layout scales:

Grand: A larger-scale composition that reads with authority across statement furniture and feature walls.

Classic: A balanced, repeated layout with natural structure and rhythm. Works across most applications.

Detailed: A fine-scale repeat where the impasto texture becomes the surface itself. Ideal for scatter cushions, smaller upholstery panels, and layered soft furnishings.

Style tip: Mark out a small section on your planned project surface to see how the Detailed scale reads in your space. That preview will show you exactly how the texture and rhythm land before you commit to a size.
