Romo Gardenia Fabrics

The Romo Gardenia Fabrics form a collection of printed and embroidered fabrics, created from the artwork of botanical illustrator, Alfred Wise.

Alfred John Wise (1908-1985) was part of the last generation of important botanical artists before the introduction of colour photography. With private access to Alfred’s extensive archive of exquisite, hand drawn sketches and paintings, Romo have created Gardenia, a charming collection of fabrics that wonderfully embody his passion for botanical illustrations. Perfectly harmonised with one another and remaining true to Alfred’s original drawings, these beautiful prints and fine embroideries honour the artistry and complexity behind the skill of botanical illustration.

Collection Details

The Romo Gardenia Fabrics are available in 5 designs, each in various colourways:

Japonica – An exquisite hand drawn design featuring painterly watercolour brush strokes. With a sublime use of colour, Japonica is beautifully bold, yet classic and graceful. The natural linen ground provides a distinct softness and effortless fluidity. Also available as an embroidery.

Wisteria – With an abundance of blooms, this alluring Wisteria print features an illustrative painting style on a pure linen cloth. Presented in a palette of gentle watercolours with vibrant accents of brighter shades, this hanging blossom has a charming beauty. Also available as an embroidery.

Arboretum – Inspired by elements of nature, delicate leaves overlap to create a striking and memorable design suitable for statement upholstery and drapes.

Wild Garden – An innovative, digitally printed abstract design, reminiscent of a hazy summer meadow, Wild Garden is presented in a palette of contemporary tones.

Oriana – A delicately drawn Alstroemeria floral, with exquisite linear details. An endearing, pared back design, Oriana coordinates effortlessly with the entire Gardenia collection.
