About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Darwinista Zaffiro shows a dense surface with softly reflective areas that emphasise the depth of its blue ground. Interlocking, maze-like lines form an organic geometric motif, with raised-looking contours tracing angular turns and sweeping curves. The tonal pattern remains close to the ground colour, creating definition without introducing a contrasting shade. Its dark sapphire character and directional texture give the design a particularly dramatic, luxe presence.

How to use it

Use Darwinista Zaffiro on a statement armchair, headboard or sofa where its deep blue tone can act as a strong focal point. Pair it with warm timber, brushed brass or quieter blue-grey textiles to balance the graphic relief.

Use this deep blue velvet to bring sculptural pattern and jewel-toned depth to upholstered seating.

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.
