Animal Instinct

Brunshwig & Fils just introduced hand-woven tiger and leopard velvet fabric for nearly $6,000 a yard.  In terms of appearance, this fabric is just about as realistic as you can get.  Its color and pattern are almost identical to that of real leopards and tigers.  Seeing this luxurious fabric makes me think that even the most classic interiors can handle a touch (or more) of animal inspiration.

Casa Mollino is Turin, Italy boasts a leopard print upholstered wall and a leopard skin rug to boot.
