Ariadne has been designing and producing furnishing fabrics since 1986, using traditional methods of textile design, working in watercolour and gouache which gives the final product a fine depth and subtlety.
Our influences come from paintings, period furnishing, our own archive of antique textiles and an extensive art and design library.

Roger Woods 1945-2002 was a gifted fine artist who loved interiors. His exquisite touch and subtle colourings gave his designs their unique quality.
Simone now manages both archives and would love to speak to you about your project, whether you need a bespoke design or would like some of our limited edition of fabric, or to discuss licensing.
Ariadne produced a highly successful collection of period designs with a subtle, rich, muted palette and a tea-stained background in the mid eighties. For many of our customers, nothing else will do. We have worked with a number of major UK and US companies.
There's nothing like the feel of antique linen, or the weight of a tapestry, or a printed woven textile, or the beautifully modulated palettes .These have been an inspiration for all our design work.
