Inspired by the intricate forms of bleached coral fragments found along a Fijian shoreline, Coral explores the distinctive radial structure of honeycomb coral.
Observed, drawn and refined in the studio, these natural forms are translated into a gently ordered repeat with an almost floral quality. Subtle variation in tone and texture echoes the changing play of light across the coral's surface, bringing depth, softness and quiet movement to the design.
Coral brings an organic rhythm to an interior. Its colourways have been carefully refined to sit naturally within the wider Fermoie collection, complementing plains, stripes and patterned designs alike.
Each Fermoie design begins on paper, where the full repeat is drawn by hand before being translated to cloth. Every colourway is individually developed and refined by eye, with palettes carefully edited to achieve harmony across the wider Fermoie collection.
Designed and printed in-house in Marlborough, Wiltshire, our production process combines proprietary colour-mixing with carefully adapted printing techniques and water-based pigments to preserve the depth, texture and character of the original artwork.
The result is a fabric with depth, tactility and quiet character, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship that define Fermoie.
