Mind the Gap Fabrics

Mind the Gap fabrics come from Târgu Mureș in Transylvania (Romania), where the brand emerged in 2016 as an independent design label from the company Global Art Production. The founders, creative director Stefan Ormenișan and managing director Victor Șerban, built on a background in wall art and wallpaper, translating it into their own maximalist signature. At Selected Wallpapers you will find the complete collection of Mind the Gap fabrics, suitable for both furniture and window treatments.

The story behind the fabrics of Mind the Gap

The name is a play on GAP (Global Art Production) and the well-known warning from the London Underground, and stands for thinking outside the beaten track. You can see that attitude reflected in every design. The design team draws on the rich, multicultural heritage of Transylvania and combines it with influences from other cultures. The result is an unmistakably idiosyncratic style: bold colours, layered patterns and motifs that tell a story. The brand's designs are now exported to more than 70 countries.

What materials and look characterise Mind the Gap fabrics

What makes Mind the Gap fabrics so recognisable is the combination of distinctive designs with a natural, artisanal look. The brand is known for linen with a stonewashed finish, which gives a soft, slightly vintage texture, and for velvet with a warm, full look. These materials lend themselves perfectly to statement pieces: a reupholstered armchair, a striking curtain or a set of cushions. The vivid colour depth and the intriguing patterns, whether botanical, geometric or folkloric, make every piece instantly recognisable as the work of this house.

Where do fabrics from Mind the Gap fit best?

The fabrics from Mind the Gap come into their own most strongly when used as a deliberately chosen eye-catcher. A reupholstered chair or a pair of striking curtains in the living or dining room gives a space immediate character. Combine the fabric with a calmer design from the Mind the Gap wallpaper collection for a cohesive whole. It is precisely by mixing fabric and wallpaper from the same brand that an interior feels like a lived-in composition rather than a random collection of separate elements.

Order a sample of the Mind the Gap fabrics first

Fabric is best judged in real life. A colour that convinces on your screen may fall slightly differently in your own lighting. So order a sample first before you take a larger quantity; this way you see the texture, the colour depth and the pattern exactly as they turn out in your space. Unsure about the metres you need? Use the wallpaper calculator as a guide or ask us for personal advice.
