Name: Riva Arctic

SKU: CCF0634-02

Riva Arctic is a cool blue-grey textile with a subdued teal cast, shown here in a closely woven surface with fine horizontal tonal variation. Its even, understated appearance gives the colourway a calm sense of depth rather than a flat block of blue.

About this fabric

The fabric reads as a softened blue-grey, with teal undertones that become more noticeable across the subtle shifts in the weave. Fine horizontal lines and delicate tonal flecks are visible across the surface, while no decorative motif is present. It has a supplied usable width of 138 cm, a standard length of 30 m and zero vertical and horizontal pattern repeat. At 406 gsm, Riva Arctic has the substantial specification expected of a textile selected for upholstery.

How to use it

Use Riva Arctic on a contemporary armchair, sofa or dining seat where its cool teal-blue tone can balance warm wood, chalky neutrals or charcoal accents. The low-key woven texture also works well when a room needs colour without a pronounced pattern.

Its cool blue-grey teal tone brings quiet depth to upholstered seating and complements both pale and dark timber.

Pairs well with

Riva Arctic 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.
