The Trocadéro, 1925 Deco, Art Deco Fabric Design

About This Design

Crimson and teal plumes fan out against a black ground here, each one built from layered feather-like blades that curve outward from a shared base. There's real theatre in the way the two colours trade dominance, crimson taking the lead in some plumes, teal in others, all of it set against black so the contrast reads with total confidence. The impasto effect gives every blade a raised, almost lacquered edge, catching light differently depending on where crimson meets teal.

Up close, the layered detail inside each plume feels genuinely feathered, dense and precise. From across a room, the black ground lets the colour do all the talking, bold and theatrical rather than quiet. Against the more formal, symmetrical pieces in this collection, The Trocadéro carries real showmanship, the kind of design built for a room that wants a little spectacle.

The Inspiration

This one is a direct nod to the Paris revue stages of the 1920s, the feathered costumes, the footlights, the sheer theatrical excess of a show built to dazzle. The Trocadéro takes that same plumed drama and gives it a Deco era palette, crimson and teal against black, built for maximum impact rather than restraint.

What It Carries

There's a boldness to this design that suits a room built for entertaining or performance, a bar area, a powder room, upholstery on a single chair that wants to be noticed. The black grounds it, crimson and teal keep it alive without tipping into chaos. It's a design for people who want a room to have a little theatre in it.

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: Use a measuring tape to mark out 50cm on your planned project surface. That window shows you exactly how the Detailed scale brings texture and rhythm into a smaller space.
