Atlas Novus Absinthe

Name: Atlas Novus Absinthe
Brand: Dedar

About this fabric

This fabric is catalogued as Velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection. Its surface appears plain but richly nuanced, with a cloudy, mottled effect that gives the golden-olive shade depth rather than a flat yellow cast. Light grazing the pile produces darker olive areas alongside warmer gold highlights, making the colour feel atmospheric and dimensional. The substantial velvet character makes it particularly suited to upholstered furniture where that tonal movement can be seen across a larger surface.

How to use it

Use Atlas Novus Absinthe on a statement armchair, sofa or dining seat to introduce a warm olive-gold accent. Pair it with aged timber, deep brown leather or softly neutral walls to bring out its antique, light-catching warmth.

A softly mottled golden-olive velvet that brings warm, atmospheric depth to upholstered seating.

Atlas Novus Absinthe 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.
