Description from the seller

The design of this cotton upholstery fabric exudes the mystical energy of the Far East. Against a deep black background, sinuous and fiery dragons soar, painted in shades of red and orange, surrounded by stylized clouds in sage green and pearly white. The dragons, symbols of strength, protection, and good luck, stand out with a graphic dynamism that captures the eye and leads it into a timeless story.
This high-quality cotton fabric is distinguished by its compact feel, resistant yet pleasantly soft to the touch, ideal for upholstery and decorative creations. The print is sharp, detailed, and durable, with vibrant colors that do not fade over time.
Recommended uses
Perfect for upholstering armchairs and seats with a bold character, creating decorative panels or bed headboards with a strong visual impact. Also ideal for cushions, curtains, or indoor screens that aim to evoke an oriental, theatrical, and refined atmosphere. It can be a surprising element in modern minimalist environments, where it becomes the main feature.
In Chinese culture, it is said that dragons, spirits of water and sky, have the power to dance among the clouds to control rain and wind. This design, depicting them among waves and vapors, originates from a print inspired by an ancient Japanese woodblock print from the Edo period, kept for decades in a small artisan workshop in Nagoya. When rediscovered, a European textile artist brought it to new life, translating it into fabric to restore its narrative power.
This fabric is not just decoration, but a story and a symbol: a choice that carries with it the echo of distant myths and a cultivated, evocative aesthetic.

Measurements: 5.00 x 1.40 meters.

Washing and Care:

To maintain the beauty and quality of your fine fabric over time, it is important to follow some simple care instructions:

Washing: It is recommended to wash the fabric by hand or in a washing machine on a gentle cycle at a maximum temperature of 30°C. Use a mild detergent free of harsh bleaches to preserve the vibrant colors.

Drying: Avoid the tumble dryer to prevent compromising the fabric fibers. Hang the fabric outdoors, avoiding prolonged direct exposure to sunlight, which could fade the colors.

Ironing: Iron the fabric at a low temperature, preferably with a cotton cloth on top, to avoid direct contact with the iron and to keep the surface of the fabric impeccable.

Professional cleaning: If used on furniture coverings or large surfaces, professional dry cleaning is recommended for safer and more durable maintenance.

By following these simple guidelines, your fabric will maintain its shine and integrity over time, continuing to enhance your spaces with class and refinement.
