About this fabric

This Albeck colourway has a tightly worked, small-texture weave that gives the red a tailored, cloth-like feel across the surface. The blend of 57% viscose, 21% cotton, 12% linen and 10% polyester helps create that balanced finish, while the approx. 145cm width makes it practical for larger runs. With no visible repeat at V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it presents as a clean plain that lets the colour do the work. The shade sits between crimson and terracotta, bringing a slightly earthy depth that softens the intensity of the red. Care code Q 8 < T 3 and fire code √CH are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use it on a statement chair, banquette or cushions where the warm red can add depth against wood, oak and darker painted finishes. It also works well in rooms that need a more grounded red than a bright scarlet, especially alongside linens, taupes and aged brass.

A rich, grounded red that brings warmth without overpowering a room.

Pairs well with

Marldon Red 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.
