Rubelli Fabric

Designed by Luke Edward Hall

Rubelli has forever been a byword for exclusive and sophisticated fabrics. Over the years traditional fabrics have been joined by contemporary style fabrics, including ‘technical’ ones.

The Rubelli Quatrefoil® fabrics designed by Luke Edward Hall give new and unexpected finishes to the Clap chairs by Patricia Urquiola and Mademoiselle by Philippe Starck with their original patterns with interlocking geometric footprints, inspired by the designs found on carpets.

The fabric is 100% cotton and feels very smooth to touch.
