Rivoli Dahlia

Rivoli III Fabric04982-86

Rivoli Dahlia is a deep, enveloping berry-plum colourway with a smooth, near-solid appearance. The surface reads as softly velvety in the light, with just enough depth to stop the shade from looking flat.

About this fabric

This colourway is a rich, dark dahlia tone that sits between burgundy and plum, with a cool shadowy undertone visible across the swatch. The finish appears plain rather than patterned, so the interest comes from the colour depth and the subtle way the pile-like surface catches light. Woven in 93% cotton and 7% modal, it has a soft, upholstered hand and a reassuring body that suits its 140cm approximate width. With a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it is straightforward to use for tailored pieces where the emphasis is on colour and texture rather than motif.

How to use it

Use it on a club chair, ottoman or headboard where the saturated plum tone can read as luxurious rather than overly bright. It pairs well with smoked woods, aged brass and warm neutrals that let the colour stay rich and moody.

A rich jewel tone that works beautifully on statement seating or dramatic 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.
