About this fabric

Catalogued as a Fabric from Dedar’s Fire-retardant collection, Michel Lichene has a dense, fine-scale weave rather than a printed motif. The colour is a muted olive with a dry khaki cast, softened rather than bright, while tiny tonal variations in the weave prevent the surface from appearing flat. The swatch reads as a versatile mid-weight textile, making it suitable to consider for both upholstery and drapery. No further composition, width or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use this olive-khaki colourway to bring an earthy, understated note to a tailored sofa, dining chair or cushion, pairing it with warm timber, stone and off-white textiles. At a window, its muted green-brown tone can balance a room without introducing a strong pattern.

Its subdued olive-khaki tone and fine woven texture suit tailored seating, cushions and softly structured window treatments.

Pairs well with

Michel Lichene 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.
