FORT103

Fortuna FabricFORT103

FORT103 has a softly warm mauve-taupe ground, overlaid with large, loosely drawn botanical leaves and petal-like forms in deep brown. Its visibly nubby chenille surface gives the colourway a tactile, shaded appearance as the light moves across the weave.

About this fabric

This 100% polyester chenille is 138cm wide and has a substantial woven texture suited to domestic upholstery. The design combines an earthy mauve-taupe base with dark brown botanical shapes, while the broken, tufted-looking surface adds depth rather than a flat printed finish. FORT103 is machine washable and rated for domestic cigarette-and-match flame retardancy; it can also be treated to Crib 5 contract grade.

How to use it

Use FORT103 on a statement armchair, sofa or upholstered headboard where its warm mauve-taupe tone can soften darker timber and brown leather. Keep surrounding textiles quiet so the large botanical forms remain the focus.

A richly textured chenille for domestic upholstery, pairing a warm mauve-taupe ground with deep brown botanical forms.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside FORT103 without fighting it. 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.
