Yoruba Orchid
Amara FabricCCF0171-03
Yoruba Orchid presents a softly mottled woven surface in dusty orchid mauve, with pale taupe-grey threads creating a delicate, irregular pattern. Its close tonal contrast gives the colourway a calm, lightly weathered depth rather than a vivid purple effect.

About this fabric
The surface combines fine, broken linear marks with gently blurred rectangular and organic forms, producing a small-scale pattern that shifts subtly across the cloth. The dusty orchid base reads cool and muted, while lighter threads catch the surface and prevent the mauve tone from appearing flat. At 439gsm and 144cm wide, this substantial textile is well suited to upholstery applications. The pattern repeats over 7.7cm vertically and 4.8cm horizontally, while the standard length is 40 metres.
How to use it
Use Yoruba Orchid on an occasional chair, headboard or compact sofa where its muted mauve tone can bring colour without overwhelming the room. Pair it with chalky neutrals, warm grey or softly aged timber to echo the swatch’s understated taupe contrast.
Use this softly mottled orchid upholstery to add restrained colour and tactile depth to contemporary or classic seating.

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.
