Voltaire Paon is a dark, tonal plain with a near-black blue depth and a soft woven surface that catches the light subtly. The colour reads quiet and dramatic rather than bright, with just enough movement in the weave to keep it from looking flat.

About this fabric

This Manuel Canovas fabric is composed of 42% Cotton, 38% Viscose, 15% Polyester and 5% Linen, giving the surface a softly textured, slightly dry-luxury feel. At approximately 140cm wide with a repeat of V 0cm / H 0cm approx, it presents as a plain cloth rather than a patterned design. The Paon colourway is a very deep blue-black, with cool navy notes visible in the weave and a muted, smoky finish. It feels sophisticated and weighty enough for tailored interiors, while the mixed fibre composition adds a gentle softness and sheen variation.

How to use it

Use Voltaire Paon on a statement armchair, dining chairs or full-length drapes where the dark blue tone can anchor a room. It pairs especially well with pale plaster, walnut, brass and soft greys for a crisp, modern contrast.

A dark, restrained blue that works beautifully for tailored upholstery or elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

Voltaire Paon 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.
