Cosima Delft Blue

Cosima Delft Blue is a richly shaded velvet with a cool, inky blue character and a softly mottled pile that catches the light. The surface has the depth and quiet sheen that make this colourway feel composed rather than bright.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a deep Delft blue with navy and slate undertones, interrupted by lighter highlights where the velvet pile shifts in the light. The finish reads plush and subtly weathered, giving the plain surface a sense of movement without any printed pattern. It is 140cm approx wide and composed of 56% Viscose and 44% Cotton, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm approx, confirming the clean, uninterrupted look visible here. The overall effect is smart and grounded, with enough richness to feel decorative while still staying restrained.

How to use it

Use it on an armchair, banquette or desk chair where the cool blue can add depth against pale paintwork, oak, or brushed metal. It also works well with crisp white linen and darker blue accents for a layered, tonal scheme.

A rich, cool blue velvet that adds depth and polish to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Cosima Delft Blue 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.
