About this fabric

This Bora-Bora Noir colourway from the Paros collection is a striking large-scale botanical fabric with an all-over jungle motif on a near-black ground. The 100% polyolefin composition and approx. 142cm width make it a practical decorative fabric for upholstered pieces where the pattern can be shown off across a broad span. Its surface reads as a tightly woven cloth rather than a flat print, with the foliage motifs giving strong contrast and a lively, graphic finish. The palette leans cool and shadowy overall, lifted by acid greens, pale chartreuse, muted coral and touches of ochre and teal. The repeat is approx. V 90cm / H 142cm, so the design has a substantial, mural-like rhythm that suits statement furniture.

How to use it

Pair this dark, multi-toned foliage with rattan, blackened timber or pale painted walls to keep the room fresh. It works especially well on an accent armchair, bench seat or loose cushion where the black ground can anchor the scheme.

Use on a statement chair or banquette to let the dark ground and vivid foliage read clearly.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Bora-Bora Noir 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.
