Olav Peacock

Soren Fabric FabricCCF0677-05

Olav Peacock packs narrow, stepped wave bands into a near-black ground, with ivory ridges and flashes of cool peacock blue visible across the weave. The tightly built pattern gives this Soren fabric a deep, graphic presence.

About this fabric

This 513gsm fabric has a visually dense small-scale geometric design, with broken arch-like bands repeating across the surface in black, cream and muted peacock blue. The dark ground makes the pale sections stand out sharply, while the blue accents add cool colour without overpowering the weave. Its 2.8cm vertical and 7cm horizontal pattern repeats keep the motif compact across upholstered surfaces. With a 142cm usable width and 30m standard length, Olav Peacock is a substantial option for coordinated upholstery projects.

How to use it

Use the inky black base on a sofa, headboard or occasional chair where the cream bands can provide contrast and the peacock-blue flecks can be echoed in cushions or painted cabinetry. Keep surrounding finishes restrained to let the tightly repeated pattern supply the room’s graphic energy.

Use this dark, cool-toned geometric weave to give upholstery a graphic focal point.

Pairs well with

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