About this fabric

This colourway sits in a deep olive-brown register, with warm earthy undertones that soften the darkness of the ground. The plain design and very fine texture keep the surface quiet, while the 93% cotton and 7% modal blend gives it a soft, natural handle. With an approximate width of 140cm and a vertical/horizontal repeat of 0cm, it presents as a clean, uninterrupted plain suitable for seamless upholstery work. The overall effect is restrained but luxurious, with enough depth to anchor lighter woods, bronzes, and muted leathers.

How to use it

Use Rivoli Sous-Bois on a sofa, armchair, or ottoman where its dark olive-brown tone can add weight without looking black. It also works well as a grounding neutral beside stone, tobacco leather, and aged brass.

A grounded, moody neutral that suits tailored upholstery and rich interior schemes.

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.
