Alvar Denim is a cool, muted blue textile with the understated character of washed denim. Its close plain weave is enlivened by subtle tonal variation, giving the surface gentle depth without a visible motif.

About this fabric

Woven at 300gsm and supplied with a 144cm usable width, Alvar Denim has the substance for upholstery while remaining suitable for drapery. The blue colour sits between slate and faded denim, with a softly softened appearance rather than a bright or highly saturated finish. Fine irregularities across the surface create a quiet, cloudy texture that changes gently as the light moves over it. With no pattern repeat vertically or horizontally, it presents as a continuous plain ground.

How to use it

Use this cool denim blue on a relaxed sofa, occasional chair or window treatment, pairing it with chalky neutrals, pale timber and warm woven accents to balance its slightly slate-toned depth.

A versatile 300gsm denim-blue textile with a softly mottled woven surface for relaxed upholstery or curtains.

Pairs well with

Alvar Denim is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
