The Vermillion Lotus Fabric: Burgundy & Navy | 1925 Deco Collection

About This Design

Burgundy and navy lotus blooms open across an ivory ground here, each bloom built with the familiar, rounded silhouette of a classic damask, but rendered in a richer, more saturated Deco palette than a traditional damask would ever use. The burgundy carries real depth, almost wine dark at the petal's centre, while navy frames each bloom with cooler structure. The impasto effect gives every petal a raised, rounded edge, so the ivory ground stays light while the blooms rise off it with real substance.

Up close, the layered petal detail rewards a slower look, full and rounded rather than sharp or geometric. From across a room, the pattern settles into a formal, traditional rhythm, burgundy and navy trading dominance across an easy, familiar repeat. Against the more graphic, high-contrast pieces in this collection, The Vermillion Lotus is the one that leans into heritage, formal without feeling austere.

The Inspiration

This one grew from thinking about classic damask silhouettes, the kind of pattern that's decorated formal interiors for generations, and asking what it would look like painted in genuine Deco jewel tones instead of the traditional muted palette. The lotus motif ties back to the collection's Egyptian revival threads, but here it's treated with a softer, more heritage feeling hand. The Vermillion Lotus takes that familiar silhouette and gives it real Deco depth.

What It Carries

There's a formal warmth to this design that suits a room built for tradition and comfort at once, a dining room, a formal bedroom, upholstery that wants to feel established rather than trend led. The ivory keeps it light, burgundy and navy give it real substance and warmth. It's a design for people who want a room to feel timeless rather than dated.

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.
