About this fabric

Woven in 100% cotton and measuring approximately 138cm wide, Orso Marine is a plain fabric with no visible repeat, making the colour the main feature. In this colourway the blue sits very close to ink navy, with a cool, shadowy depth that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. The surface looks matte and even, so the cloth feels calm and controlled rather than decorative. With its cotton composition and upholstery-friendly look, it is well suited to benches, dining chairs and other refined seating pieces. The √CM fire code is supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Orso Marine on structured upholstery to anchor a room with a dark, elegant base. It works especially well with crisp neutrals, pale oak and metallic accents, where the blue-black tone can read as sophisticated rather than heavy.

Pair with pale timber, chalk whites or brushed brass for a sharp, tailored look.

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.
