Voltaire Indigo is a richly dark blue fabric with a quiet, tailored presence and a softly mottled surface. The close weave reads almost charcoal in low light, then opens into a restrained indigo when the light catches it.

About this fabric

This colourway shows a deep indigo blue with a very dark, almost inky depth, lifted by the subtle crosswise texture visible in the weave. The fabric is composed of 42% cotton, 38% viscose, 15% polyester and 5% linen, giving it a balanced look that feels substantial without appearing heavy. It is approximately 140cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm approx, so the emphasis is on the plain woven surface rather than pattern. The finish has a soft, matte character that suits the composed, polished mood of this shade, while the fire code √BM is noted for specification purposes.

How to use it

Use Voltaire Indigo where you want a dark, architectural blue that anchors a room without looking stark. It pairs especially well with pale woods, warm neutrals and brushed metals, letting the indigo depth stay elegant rather than severe.

A refined dark blue that works beautifully on tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

Voltaire Indigo 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.
