Dashiki Indigo

Amara FabricCCF0149-03

Dashiki Indigo sets dense, cool indigo looped rings against a softly mottled pale ground. The rounded motifs are built from small, irregular woven marks, giving the repeat a tactile, hand-worked character.

About this fabric

At 534gsm, Dashiki Indigo has a substantial presence suited to upholstery, with a visibly textured weave that softens the contrast between the dark blue motifs and the light ground. The indigo reads cool and deep rather than bright, while the pale background brings a dry, natural lightness to the overall colourway. Its 23.4cm vertical repeat and 32.7cm horizontal repeat create a clearly legible medium-scale pattern of irregular circular forms. With a 130cm usable width, the fabric offers a practical layout for coordinating patterned upholstered pieces.

How to use it

Pair this cool indigo colourway with chalky neutrals, pale oak and warm woven textures to balance its graphic depth. On a chair, headboard or sofa, let the rounded repeat provide the room’s main decorative rhythm.

Use this weighty indigo-and-pale woven for upholstered seating where its rounded, tactile repeat can become a graphic focal point.

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