Voltaire Mer is a softly textured blue fabric with a cool, muted depth and a refined woven surface. The colour reads as a restrained mer shade, calm rather than bright, with the weave giving it gentle visual movement.

About this fabric

Voltaire Mer from Manuel Canovas has a compact, low-key woven appearance that lets the colour take centre stage. The 42% cotton, 38% viscose, 15% polyester and 5% linen composition gives it a balanced handle, while the 140cm approximate width makes it practical for a range of interior projects. With no repeat to interrupt the surface, the fabric keeps a clean, continuous look that feels especially modern in this subdued blue. Its cool tone is softened by the mixed fibres, creating a finish that sits between casual texture and smart polish.

How to use it

Use this mer blue on an upholstered armchair or banquette where the colour can add depth without feeling heavy. It also works well for curtains in a room with pale timber, chalk white or soft grey finishes.

A cool, quiet blue that suits tailored upholstery or relaxed curtains.

Pairs well with

Voltaire Mer 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.
