Scarabeo Cactus

Name: Scarabeo Cactus

Scarabeo Cactus brings a dense interlocking loop motif into a deep cactus palette, with teal and forest-green forms set against pale ivory grounds. The velvet surface gives the pattern softly light-catching depth, with subtle shifts across the pile.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet, Scarabeo Cactus has a substantial, tactile appearance suited to upholstery. Rounded, linked forms create a compact geometric repeat, with dark green centres and teal outlines woven together by pale ivory arcs. The cactus palette reads cool and saturated rather than bright, while small muted yellow-green accents add measured warmth between the larger shapes. Its visible pile catches the light unevenly, giving the dark ground a layered, gently variegated finish.

How to use it

Use Scarabeo Cactus on a statement armchair, banquette or footstool where its cool teal-green depth can anchor a room. Pair it with pale stone, warm ivory or dark timber to pick up the quieter tones in the pattern without competing with its strong geometry.

Use this richly textured velvet to bring graphic rhythm and cool, botanical 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.
