About this fabric

The colour sits between aubergine and deep plum, with a muted richness that becomes subtly lighter across the nap. Its close velvet surface has a fine, low-key texture and gentle tonal variation visible across the swatch. Sansone is catalogued as a velvet fabric, while no additional composition, width, rub-test or performance specification has been supplied for this colourway.

How to use it

Use Sansone Aubergine on a reading chair, sofa or headboard where its dark plum tone can act as a confident focal colour. Pair it with warm timber, aged brass and pale neutrals to keep the shade rich without making the room feel overly heavy.

Use this deep aubergine velvet to bring saturated colour and quiet depth to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Sansone Aubergine 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.
