London Underground Central Line 1992 Moquette Fabric sold by the Metre

When the Central line got its new trains in 1992, the designers gave the public a say on which moquette would adorn the seats. The winner of the poll was this one - Check - and was designed by Sothcott. The design was repetitive squares so that any damage could be cut out and a new square embroidered into place. Red and blue were chosen, which remain London Underground’s colour scheme. The design lasted well, so expect a hard-wearing product range from us.

Perhaps the most rewarding projects are the ones you design and complete yourself. We sell moquette off the roll, by the linear metre, for your own upholstery and handicraft endeavours. Whether you fancy a set of 4 dining chairs in District, a footstool in Straub or even a car interior in bygone Bournemouth, we have rolls of moquette to choose from. Top tip: Moquette looks great when mounted and framed too. 125cm wide sold by the metre, delivered as a continuous length.
