Darwinista Madreperla presents a pale pearl-taupe ground traced with fine, tonal geometric contours. The softly muted colour lets the angular pattern read with quiet definition rather than strong contrast.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Darwinista Madreperla has the substantial, softly textured appearance associated with a seating fabric. Its light taupe-beige tone carries a cool pearl cast, while the closely related lines create gentle depth across the surface. Angular bands, stepped outlines and rounded inset forms give the design a distinctive architectural, almost Art Deco character. No performance features are noted in the supplied information.

How to use it

Use this pale pearl-taupe colourway on a sculptural armchair, headboard or sofa where its tonal geometry can complement stone, plaster, brushed metal and other restrained finishes.

Use the pearl-taupe ground to bring quiet contrast to sculptural seating and angular contemporary interiors.

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.
