An iconic pattern that has become a furnishing classic
The leopard motif is part of the animal prints that transcend trends and eras. Today, leopard fabric comes in more refined and balanced versions, with natural palettes made of beige, brown, and black. This evolution has significantly changed its image in interior design. Leopard fabric is now considered a true furnishing classic.
The leopard animal print among textile editors
Leopard fabric is now widely referenced by major French textile publishers. It is considered an essential option for upholstery and seat reupholstery projects. Brands such as Nobilis, with its cut-yarn jacquard animal print from the Icônes collection, Casamance—whose Okavango leopard velvet from the Rémanence collection is particularly appreciated for upholstery work—as well as Lelièvre, Pierre Frey, and Designers Guild, offer refined interpretations of the leopard motif across a variety of finishes: velvet, jacquard, and technical fabrics designed for everyday use.
In interior design, leopard fabric is used with subtlety. It helps structure a space or highlight a specific piece. When paired with materials such as noble wood, marble, or velvet, it contributes to creating elegant and sophisticated atmospheres.
The expertise of Maison Berthet Logeais
This is precisely where our expertise comes into play. At Maison Berthet Logeais, we work closely with textile publishers to select, for each project, the most suitable leopard fabric in terms of material, colour, durability, and final appearance.
Seat reupholstery lies at the heart of our craft. We enjoy reinterpreting and enhancing everyday objects—a vintage armchair, a family chair, or an antique bergère—to give them a new identity. Carefully worked leopard fabric reveals all its richness in this context: perfectly aligned pattern matching, piping or braid finishes, and sculpted volumes shaped by traditional upholstery techniques.
We support you through every stage of the project: selecting the publisher and fabric, advising on proportions and finishes, and carrying out the making and installation in our Paris workshop. Each piece we create is designed as a unique object, at the intersection of textile and furniture.
Today, leopard fabric naturally finds its place in high-end interior design projects. It brings character and a strong visual identity while remaining perfectly integrated into refined environments—provided it is handled with the expertise of a professional upholsterer-decorator.
