About this fabric

This Dedar fabric is catalogued as Velvet, with an entirely plain face and no visible motif or woven pattern. The Lichen colourway has a cool, earthy olive base warmed by brown and ochre undertones, giving the swatch a deep, lichen-like character rather than a bright green appearance. The nap catches the light gently, creating subtle tonal variation across the otherwise even surface. No performance features are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Vladimiro Lichen on a sofa, armchair or headboard where its restrained olive-brown tone can anchor cream, stone, walnut and aged brass. Pair it with textured neutrals to keep the velvet’s soft tonal movement visible.

Use this muted olive-brown velvet to bring depth and a softly lustrous finish to upholstered seating.

Pairs well with

Vladimiro Lichen 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.
