About this fabric

The swatch has a chunky, small-scale weave built from interlocking cream and pale blue yarns, with scattered aqua, sage and brown details adding depth. Zaffre blue appears in distinct woven lines and flecks, giving the overall colourway a cool, lightly coastal mood rather than a dark or saturated finish. Catalogued as an Outdoor textile with an Outdoor performance feature, it is suited to upholstery applications where its textured check can remain visible. The uneven yarn definition keeps the pattern informal and tactile.

How to use it

Use Zeni Outdoor Zaffre on relaxed outdoor seating, cushions or an occasional chair, balancing its cool blue and aqua notes with warm wood, natural fibres and pale stone shades.

Use the cool blue ground with pale timber, chalky neutrals and soft sage accents for a fresh outdoor scheme.

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.
