Sophie Ciel

This Agathe fabric from Manuel Canovas is woven in 55% viscose, 35% cotton and 10% polyamide, with a width of approximately 142cm and a horizontal repeat of about 2cm. The stripe reads as a cool, airy blue, softened by the creamy ground so the overall effect stays light rather than sharp. Its fine, regular pattern gives the cloth a tailored look, and the weave has a smooth, textile finish that keeps the colourway feeling clean and composed. With no performance features noted and a BM fire code, it is a refined decorative fabric for schemes that need a crisp, restrained stripe.

Use it for upholstered dining chairs, a headboard or a neat pair of curtains where the soft blue stripe can add order without heaviness. It sits especially well with pale timber, stone, white-painted joinery and other cool neutrals.
