Minos Cardinal shows a tight, rhythmic small-scale motif in a warm cardinal red against a pale ground. The effect is lively but controlled, with the darker red marks giving the surface a crisp, textural pulse.

About this fabric

This Fabric from Manuel Canovas’ Java collection is composed of 90% viscose and 10% polyester, with an approximate width of 138cm and a repeat of V 2cm / H 2cm. The close geometric pattern reads as a neat woven lattice, with tiny dark red shapes stepping across a soft blush-beige base. The colourway feels warm and saturated rather than bright, so it brings energy without overpowering a room. Its fine, regular texture and smart-scale repeat make it especially suitable for tailored interiors where pattern detail matters. Fire code √BM and care code Q 8 < T 3 are listed for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Minos Cardinal on accent chairs, bench seats or cushions where the small repeat can be read up close. It also works well in a scheme with oak, walnut and muted taupe, letting the cardinal red provide a sharp focal point.

Pair with warm neutrals or deep woods to let the red lattice stay crisp and confident.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Minos Cardinal without fighting it. 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.
