Material gains

Not content with brightening interiors with its range of joyful and vibrant patterned fabrics, Christopher Farr Cloth, 020 7349 0888, christopherfarrcloth.com, has added six new designs, from £85m, for outdoor use. Shown here are Tord Boontje’s painterly Field (centre), which is based on English gardens, Crochet (left) by French artist Raoul Dufy, and Fleming (right) from the archives of Barron and Larcher, pioneering female designers of the Art Deco era.
