Tapestries & Friends
Traditional weaving, with a modern twist
Gobelin tapestries captivate with their vivid imagery. TAPESTRIES & FRIENDS by JAB ANSTOETZ Fabrics offers a contemporary take on the art of tapestry weaving. The collection combines authentic Gobelin tapestries with jacquard-woven interpretations, bringing the full breadth of this textile tradition to life.
Floral designs in rich shades of green are a hallmark of TAPESTRIES & FRIENDS. Historically inspired designs meet more abstract floral motifs, natural moods meet graphic structures, intense hues meet pastel tones and deep background colours. Whilst some fabrics are closely based on historical models, others translate the idea of the tapestry into a more abstract form that can be interpreted in many ways.
As an exceptional upholstery fabric collection, TAPESTRIES & FRIENDS demonstrates just how strongly fabrics define the character of a piece of furniture. Armchairs, sofas or chairs take on an almost narrative presence thanks to the decorative patterns. The collection is equally suited to classically styled interiors and to modern spaces where a single piece of furniture becomes an atmospheric focal point.
“With the TAPESTRIES & FRIENDS collection, we invite you to rediscover the timeless beauty of the traditional art of Gobelin tapestry. The vibrant floral designs, available in various sizes and colours, create a playful effect in a classic interior, but can also lend character to a room in a modern setting. The intricate manufacturing techniques transform the upholstery fabrics into works of art. For me, this is a collection that touches the heart and the senses.“

The highlight of the collection is CLASSICO. Its authentic Gobelin quality draws on the tradition of historical tapestries and reinterprets it with a lush floral design. Leaf upon leaf, blossom upon blossom. The multicoloured jacquard weft lends the design its distinctive vividness. CLASSICO is available in four colourways, characterised by a crisp texture and understated colours.
FOGLIA, too, remains closely linked to the classic tapestry tradition. The leaf motif is rendered in a naturalistic style and is characterised by the distinctive textile structure of genuine tapestries.
SELVA reinterprets the forest motif: densely arranged tree canopies, a naturalistic design and a colour palette ranging from cream and black through grey to earthy multicoloured tones lend the fabric depth.
With FLORALIS, the collection takes on a more modern interpretation. The large-patterned jacquard design is created on a Gobelin warp using a rep weave. The combination of different weaving techniques and the use of a coarse bouclé yarn give the floral motif a more abstract feel.
FIORELLE derives its vibrant, multi-layered colour effect from its exceptionally high weft density. Against a black or cream background, a striking sea of flowers unfolds in delicate, light yet expressive shades.
TAPESTRIES & FRIENDS is complemented by three hard-wearing upholstery fabrics, which, in their black-and-white colour scheme, evoke a Japanese-inspired aesthetic. Chenille in the weft lends the fabrics volume and softness. This makes them particularly well-suited for chairs, dining benches and combinable upholstery solutions.
VITICCIO features a finely detailed, decorative all-over pattern; ROMBO introduces a graphic, large-scale structure with its diamond motif, whilst on MILLE FIORI, tiny blossoms coalesce into a serene motif.
