Alumnus Bordeaux

Name: Alumnus Bordeaux
Brand: Dedar
SKU: 010

Alumnus Bordeaux is defined by broad vertical bands of deep wine red, separated by narrow pale blue and cream lines. Its closely woven surface gives the stripes a softly tactile, rather than flat, appearance.

About this fabric

The dominant Bordeaux tone reads as dark, warm and saturated, with a restrained depth that gives the colourway a tailored mood. Fine pale blue and cream stripes run through the design in regular vertical intervals, creating a crisp contrast against the red ground. The visible weave adds subtle grain across both the broad bands and narrow lines, gently breaking up the colour in the light. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use it on a structured armchair or sofa where the deep red can act as a confident focal colour, or hang it as drapery to emphasise the strong vertical rhythm. Echo the pale blue in painted cabinetry or bring in cream upholstery for a lighter counterpoint.

Use the deep Bordeaux ground to bring tailored warmth to upholstery or full-length curtains, with the pale blue and cream stripes adding definition.

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.
