Caryn is looking for some info: I've been searching for months now to find modern red fabric to reupholster one of our favorite chairs. I recently saw this image of a red chair in Real Simple magazine and love the fabric design. Anyone know where to go (hopefully online) to find some similar fabric ideas as this one?

Purlsoho.com has some great cotton and linens in prints similar to this.

It looks like a Marimekko and knowing Anthropologie, it's exclusive to them.

it is exclusive to anthropologie. they do not sell fabric whatsoever, but if you really enjoy the pattern and perhaps the chair itself they do have promotional upholstery events (25% off) for the months of april and september.

another nice pattern that's popular and about the same scale is
Imperial Trellis by KWID
this blog has a snap of it in red as wallpaper behind the author http://www.absolutelybeautifulthings.blogspot.com/
I think she also has some examples on her blog where she used the fabric on chairs.
Chloe Sevigny used the green wallpaper in her apartment, which is here on AT:
