Michael S. Smith Indoor Outdoor Fabric Collection by Zoffany

Michael S. Smith Indoor Outdoor Fabric Collection by Zoffany

A collaboration that fills a genuine gap. Michael S. Smith — the celebrated American interior designer whose work includes the White House during the Obama administration — has long been frustrated by the absence of truly beautiful outdoor fabric: designs with the patina, character and vintage quality of great indoor cloth, but built to last. This collection with Zoffany is his answer to that.

Working directly from Zoffany's historic archives, Michael hand-selected original documents as blueprints — French chintzes, Japanese silks, 18th and 19th-century florals — and reimagined them as a range of 13 designs encompassing stripes, florals and plains with an archival essence rarely seen in performance fabric. Printed fabrics are digitally produced at Zoffany's UK factory onto an outdoor-ready base that's mould resistant, lightfast and finished with a fluorine-free treatment for stain and water repellency; woven designs are made from solution-dyed acrylic in Italy to the same exacting standard.

The result is a collection that moves seamlessly between inside and out, with a carefully coordinated palette designed to look as beautiful in outdoor light as it does in a drawing room. Luxury indoor-outdoor fabric, done properly for the first time.

Good to know

How much fabric do I need?

It depends on the window or furniture and on the pattern repeat, which is given on every product page. Your curtain maker or upholsterer will give you an exact figure; order it all at once so it comes from the same batch and arrives as one continuous length.

Can I order a sample?

Yes. Most fabrics have a sample, and up to 6 samples are delivered free. Samples show the colour and the weave, though not always the full pattern repeat.

Can fabric be returned?

Fabric is cut to order for you, so it can't be cancelled or returned. That's why we always suggest ordering a sample first.

How long will delivery take?

Every product page shows its own delivery time and an estimated arrival date. Delivery is free on UK mainland orders over £100; Northern Ireland, the Highlands and islands are charged at checkout.

Do you offer trade accounts?

Yes, for interior designers, decorators and commercial projects. Find out about trade accounts.
