Harlequin Fabrics
Harlequin fabrics are for people who like colour. The contemporary member of Britain's Sanderson Design Group, Harlequin trades in bold, painterly prints, vivid geometrics and rich modern weaves, the fabric you choose when a room should feel alive rather than safe. Studio 198 supplies Harlequin fabrics to the US, the UK and worldwide, for upholstery and curtains, and by the yard or the metre. If your scheme wants energy and a fresh, current look, start here.
The Contemporary British Fabric House
Harlequin sits within Sanderson Design Group, the British house behind Sanderson, Morris & Co and Zoffany, and it is the modern, colour-led one of the family. Where the others lean heritage, Harlequin is trend-led and design-forward: painterly florals, bold geometrics, and textural weaves in palettes most heritage brands would not risk. It works with contemporary designers and artists to keep things fresh, and the fabrics are woven and printed to the group's British manufacturing standards. Colour with real craft behind it.
Harlequin Upholstery Fabric
On furniture, Harlequin upholstery fabric brings colour and pattern to a chair, a sofa or a headboard without the formality of a period print. The range covers bold prints, textural weaves and velvets, from decorative through to hard-wearing. Ask for the Martindale rub count on the specific cloth, and for contract and hospitality work confirm the fire rating, Crib 5 (BS 5852) for a UK project or the equivalent for a US one. It is the fabric to reach for when you want the seat to be the statement.
Harlequin Curtain and Drapery Fabric
At the window, Harlequin's prints and weaves come into their own. Whether you call them curtains or drapery, they hang with colour and life, the printed designs showing a pattern beautifully, the weaves adding softer, tonal depth. Line them to read more formal and to protect the colour from strong sun. Fabrics are available by the yard or the metre, so it works whichever side of the Atlantic your project is on. Few fabrics dress a modern window with as much personality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Harlequin part of Sanderson?
Yes. Harlequin is one of the brands within Sanderson Design Group, the British group that also includes Sanderson, Morris & Co and Zoffany. Harlequin is the contemporary, colour-led member, sharing the group's design pedigree and its UK manufacturing.
Do you ship Harlequin fabric to the US and UK?
Yes. Studio 198 supplies Harlequin fabric worldwide, including across the US and the UK, and it can be ordered by the yard or the metre. Order samples to check the colour and hand, and we can arrange delivery for a single length or a full project wherever you are.
Is Harlequin fabric suitable for upholstery and busy rooms?
Yes, with the right cloth. The heavier weaves and velvets take daily use well; check the Martindale figure and, for contract work, the fire rating (Crib 5 / BS 5852 in the UK, or the US equivalent). For a hard-working sofa, choose a weave over a delicate print, and we will confirm the durability for your setting.
Is Harlequin fabric good for modern interiors?
That is its home ground. The colour-led, contemporary designs are made for modern and transitional rooms, and a single bold Harlequin fabric can be the focal point of a pared-back scheme. Restraint is the trick: let one piece carry the colour.
