About this fabric

The fabric presents a saturated flame-red ground, with subtle darker clouding and fine surface variation visible across the swatch. Light catches the raised-looking texture gently, preventing the colour from appearing flat while retaining its richly dark character. At 300 gsm, it has a substantial mid-weight handle suited to upholstery applications. The 144 cm usable width and 35 m standard length offer practical coverage, while the 0 cm vertical and horizontal pattern repeats make it straightforward to cut as a plain.

How to use it

Use Alvar Flame on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat where its warm crimson tone can anchor a room. Balance the depth of the red with aged brass, walnut, charcoal or softly contrasting cream textiles.

Use this deep red with warm timber, dark metal or tonal furnishings for a rich, enveloping 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.
