About this product
Meet Nomad: The Iconic Australian Fabric, Reinvented
Originally engineered during World War II for parachutes, our Nomad fabric has deep roots in history and innovation. Scientists and engineers set out to create a material that was light yet incredibly strong — and what they developed was a durable, tear-resistant canvas with a distinctive grid-like weave.
We’ve reimagined this remarkable textile for modern living. After a careful washing process, Nomad becomes a beautiful, tactile upholstery fabric with a relaxed, natural feel. Its subtle utilitarian look is effortlessly Australian — unfussy, sturdy, and full of character.
Tough enough for everyday life.
Nomad is virtually indestructible. It's robust, water-resistant, and handles life’s messes with ease — whether it’s spills, muddy paws, or busy kids. Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, it’s a go-to for families, pet owners, and anyone who loves low-maintenance living without compromising on style.
Available in three timeless tones: Green, Grey, and Sand.
At Koskela, we believe furniture should do more than just look good. That’s why Nomad cotton canvas is made sustainably, right here in Australia. By choosing Nomad, you're supporting ethical production, local craftsmanship, and a lower environmental impact — all while bringing a piece of Australian history into your home.
