Tempo Pistachio is a muted olive-pistachio velvet with closely drawn, horizontal waves running across its surface. Its earthy green-brown tone reads softly shaded rather than bright, while the fine ridges add quiet movement.

About this fabric

The 635gsm velvet has a substantial, upholstery-friendly presence, with narrow undulating lines creating a finely striated pattern across the cloth. In this colourway, olive green is tempered with warm taupe and brown undertones, giving the surface a grounded, softly aged appearance. The pattern measures 3.6cm vertically and 8cm horizontally, so the wave effect remains small and closely spaced on a larger upholstered form. A 141cm usable width and 40m standard length make it practical for planning coordinated upholstery projects.

How to use it

Use Tempo Pistachio on a tailored sofa, headboard or occasional chair where its subdued olive tone can sit alongside warm timber, brushed brass and natural linens. The closely spaced wave texture also brings depth to simple silhouettes without introducing a bold graphic contrast.

The weighty 635gsm velvet and quietly rippling surface make this muted olive pistachio colourway well suited to upholstered seating.

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