Rivoli Foret is a very dark forest olive with a softly muted finish and a velvety-looking surface. In the swatch, the colour reads almost black at first glance, then opens into a deep green-brown as the light moves across it.

About this fabric

Woven in 93% Cotton and 7% Modal, this fabric has a soft, close texture that gives the colour its subdued, matte depth. The swatch shows no visible repeat, so the emphasis sits on the plain ground and the way the dark olive tone absorbs light rather than on pattern. At approximately 140cm wide, it is a practical cloth for larger upholstery projects, and the √CM fire code makes it suitable where a compliant finish is required. The overall effect is grounded and elegant, with a shade that feels richer than moss and less yellow than khaki.

How to use it

This colourway works well on a tailored armchair, banquette or headboard where its dark olive tone can anchor the room. Pair it with aged brass, walnut and cream linens to keep the look crisp and sophisticated.

Use with warm woods, brass and parchment tones to bring out its dark botanical depth.

Pairs well with

Rivoli Foret is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
