About this fabric

This Dedar velvet reads as a balanced tortora: warmer than a cool grey, but restrained enough to sit comfortably with natural timber, stone and soft neutrals. Its short pile catches the light subtly, creating a hushed variation across the otherwise plain surface. The close, even texture visible in the swatch gives it a composed, tailored character suited to upholstered furniture. No composition, width or performance specification is supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Alexander Tortora on a generously upholstered armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm taupe tone can soften darker wood and complement layered cream, oatmeal and muted brown textiles.

A softly textured warm taupe velvet for upholstered seating, headboards and other pieces where muted depth is wanted.

Pairs well with

Alexander Tortora 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.
