The Extinct Animal Fabrics are the ultimate high-end collection of numerous fabrics. They bring a touch of luxury, softness and a splash of natural beauty to the upholstered designs in the Moooi collection.
The Museum of Extinct Animals inspired the Extinct Animals Fabric Collection. Moooi dived into the world of textiles and emerged with a unique collection of fabrics based on the animals’ features. The organic structures, wondrous tactility, and geometric patterns are reminders of the wonders of nature. The fabrics embody not only the extinct animals’ looks and textures but also their tactual feel. The assortment of high-quality materials range from high pile cotton velvet, to jacquards, to mohair and fluffy fur.

The Museum of Extinct Animals
Moooi sailed away on a bold adventure around the globe and digged up the dustiest of museum archives in order to find invaluable treasures: the drawings of lost animals, trimmed by imagination. The most invaluable treasure from past and present expeditions is the unexpected diversity of beauty, in all its forms…
For Moooi, unique drawings of forgotten species were made available by museums and archives from all over the world. Inspired by ten magnificent extinct animal drawings, Moooi created designs for surfaces: a new collection of fabrics and leathers, wall coverings and Carpets that bring the Extinct Animals back to life!
