Olav Denim/Putty

Soren Fabric FabricCCF0677-04

Olav Denim/Putty combines a soft putty ground with closely spaced, irregular denim-blue wave motifs. The woven surface gives the pattern a tactile, broken quality rather than a flat printed appearance.

About this fabric

With a substantial 513gsm weight, Olav is well suited to upholstery and has a 142cm usable width. Its small-scale design repeats every 2.8cm vertically and 7cm horizontally, creating a consistent field of undulating, dark denim marks across the pale ground. The denim tone reads cool and softened against the warm putty background, while the uneven woven highlights add depth and a subtly handcrafted character.

How to use it

Pair this cool, muted colourway with warm timber, chalky neutrals and aged leather, or use it on a statement armchair where the compact wave pattern can be seen up close.

Use this cool denim-and-putty weave to bring understated pattern and textural depth to upholstered seating.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Olav Denim/Putty 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.
