About this fabric

Woven in 100% wool, Harvard Forest from Larsen’s Harvard II collection has a dry, textile-rich handle and a plain appearance with no visible pattern repeat. The colour is a deep muted olive with brown undertones, reading darker and more enclosed in shadow while lifting slightly to a softer green-brown where the light catches. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical furnishing width, and the Q 8 + T 3 care code with √BH fire code supports its use in considered interior schemes. Its subtle surface variation gives the swatch depth without any obvious motif, so the focus stays on tone and texture rather than pattern.

How to use it

Use this colourway on a tailored armchair, bench seat or ottoman to bring in a sophisticated forest note without overwhelming a room. It pairs especially well with oak, aged brass and warm neutral linens.

A quietly tailored olive that works well on structured seating and pared-back cushions.

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.
