Introducing Salone - Houlès latest

11 September 2025

We were so excited to hear about this: Houlès and Michael Aiduss have teamed up again for their second collaboration, called Salone. True to form it’s another stunning collection of elegant, characterful passementerie.
Salone is inspired by early Italian modernist architecture and offers a diverse range of looks - from botanical motifs, to hints of classicism and Ponti-esque geometrics. If you’re a fan of passementerie and the magical things it can do to an interior then call into a Unique showroom and see Salone.
Our Account Managers and Agents look forward to introducing you to this beautiful collection.

Savanna is here!

Anna 18 November 2024

Our fabulous new outdoor/indoor collection Savanna has arrived and it’s looking amazing!
Savanna started life as a written brief: To create a contemporary, high quality, multipurpose range of fabrics. One that's tough enough for outdoor use but with a look and feel of interior fabric. Inspiration-wise we were drawn to African artisan patterns; motifs from basketry and carving, and colours from natural adobe pigments. The collection includes 2 geometric designs, a stylish stripe, a textured plain and a zebra hide pattern. Available in 4 colourways, Linen, Adobe, Spice and Jungle.Savanna is expertly woven in Belgium by a renown 4th generation family-owned mill. The yarn ticks all the boxes: an excellent lightfastness of 7, 30,000 Martindale rubs, washable, water repellant finish, anti-microbial and Oeko-tex certified.

Savanna sampling is in our showrooms now and with our agents. Our Sales team look forward to introducing the collection to you in the coming days. Click HERE to see the collection page or click HERE to download the brochure.
