Ombra Olive

Palladio FabricCCF0090-04

Ombra Olive has a softly distressed, painterly appearance, with muted olive-green fields broken by broad vertical bands of taupe, brown and charcoal. Its lightly textured surface gives the colourway a layered, weathered depth rather than a flat green finish.

About this fabric

This 346 gsm fabric combines an earthy olive ground with irregular vertical striations that fade between moss, warm taupe, brown and smoky charcoal. The close-up shows a subtle woven grain beneath the blurred, mineral-like pattern, while darker areas add definition without becoming sharply geometric. With a 137 cm usable width, the design has a 56 cm vertical repeat and 35 cm horizontal repeat, allowing the tonal bands to be positioned deliberately across upholstery. Its substantial weight and softly rugged surface make it particularly suited to relaxed, textural seating schemes.

How to use it

Pair Ombra Olive with natural timber, aged leather and warm stone tones to emphasise its mossy, grounded character. On a chair, headboard or sofa, the vertical banding can add height and movement without introducing a rigid stripe.

Use its earthy olive depth and painterly vertical movement to bring quiet texture to upholstered 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.
