Arta Olive

Arta Olive pairs a small traditional geometric pattern with a calm ivory ground and muted olive accents. The design reads crisp and understated, with a gentle woven texture that feels tailored rather than flashy.

About this fabric

Woven in Spain from 85% cotton and 15% linen, Arta Olive is a substantial fabric at 260gsm and is specified for severe contract upholstery and drapes. The small repeat of 13cm vertical and 11.5cm horizontal keeps the pattern neat and regular, while the ivory background softens the olive motif into a restrained, heritage look. Tiny blue-grey accent dots add a cool note, giving the colourway a quieter, slightly fresher feel than a warmer sage. With a 45,000 rub test and 140cm width, it is a practical choice where durability needs to sit alongside a traditional decorative finish.

How to use it

Use Arta Olive on tailored chairs, ottomans or banquettes to bring a fresh olive note into a classic scheme. It also works well as curtains or roman blinds against painted woodwork, where the pale ground helps the pattern stay light.

A subtle olive-and-ivory motif that feels refined on both upholstery and curtains.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Arta Olive 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.
