About this fabric

This colourway has a cool blue-green cast with a slightly weathered look, so the surface reads as layered rather than flat. The velvet pile catches the light in softer and darker bands, giving the cloth a quietly mottled depth across the whole swatch. It is woven in 56% viscose and 44% cotton, with an approximate width of 140cm, and no repeat is noted at V 0cm / H 0cm approx. The hand and visual density make it a strong choice for seating, where the tonal shifts can add interest without introducing pattern.

How to use it

Use this shade on an armchair, sofa or banquette to bring a cool, tailored note into a scheme with oak, walnut or linen. It also works well with chalky neutrals and aged brass, which lift the blue-teal depth without overpowering it.

Pair with warm neutrals or polished timber to balance the cool, softly lustrous surface.

Pairs well with

Cosima Tapestry 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.
