Andrew Hopping
Where Craft Meets Fabric
As part of a recent feature in The FOLIO, we collaborated with Montreux Furniture to explore the enduring dialogue between furniture and fabric. A partnership that speaks to shared values – structural integrity, considered craft and an unwavering commitment to quality – between two family-owned businesses proud to call New Zealand home.
The Frankie Sofa in Ravello & Salerno
Andrew Hopping of Montreux layers Ravello in colour 103 as the grounding tone of their Frankie Sofa, with Salerno in colour 601 on the cushions – both from The Textile Company’s Private Label.
Montreux on Fabric & Form
What fabrics do you most love to pair with your furniture pieces and why?
Furniture is designed and made for purpose. Its coverings are part of this formula. Fabrics that are created to perform in an environment that handles wine lovers, grandchildren and family pets helps confidence when acquiring quality made furniture items.
Talk us through the selection of The Textile Company’s Private Label Ravello on the Frankie Sofa and why you love it.
The Frankie sofa with its clean lines and low bulk appearance means it’s a model that can be placed in any room of the house or apartment. To pair it with The Textile Company’s Private Label Ravello and the Salerno stripe on the cushions, with its solution-dyed polypropylene composition, means it handles all that is New Zealand lifestyle. A high colourfastness for our UV issues and easy clean for our love of Central Otago Pinot Noir meant an easy pairing of both furniture style and fabric selection.

EAST TOOWOOMBA 2
by Ivy + Piper
“We sourced the Fabricut Bazaar fabric in blue for use as a custom made ottoman in our family friendly living room at our East Toowoomba 2 project. We find patterns in family zones are very forgiving for clients with little ones and all of the associated wear and tear! This room needed a vibrant fabric that was going to anchor the other patterned fabrics utilised in this layered room instead of competing with them… The paisley did just that! The trim was a fun addition that gave the ottoman some formality and structure and kept the multicoloured space looking refined.”
