Spoonflower + Pantone presentPantone® Color of the Year: Fabric Palette Design Challenge

For this official Pantone x Spoonflower Design Challenge, we invite you to create a fabric design well suited for upholstery featuring Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse, and the Subtle Contrasts color palette. Your design will be displayed on an accent chair for voting, so think carefully about scale and repeat.  

(Pro-tip: Thinking about coordinating your fabric entry with your oversized wallpaper design entry 😊 to create a seamless shopping experience for consumers!)
