About this fabric

Foreman I is catalogued as a fabric, with no performance features noted in the supplied specification. The cool grey-green ground carries tightly interlaced leaves and tendrils, creating a layered pattern with a distinctly textile-led character. Soft stone and silvery-beige threads catch across the foliage, adding subtle definition while keeping the overall colourway muted and deep.

How to use it

Use this cool grey-green colourway on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its intricate foliage can be appreciated up close. Balance its formal botanical richness with warm timber, aged brass and quieter neutral upholstery.

The cool grey-green ground and intricate curling foliage bring depth and old-world character to upholstered pieces.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Foreman I without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
