About this fabric

Catalogued as a velvet from Dedar’s Velvet fabrics collection, Young Nureyev Foresta has the dense, softly brushed appearance associated with a plush pile. Its colour is a rich forest green, darker and cooler than olive, with a restrained depth across the plain surface. The nap catches the light only gently, creating a quiet shift between almost black-green shadow and softer green highlights. With no visible motif, this colourway relies on texture and saturation for its decorative effect.

How to use it

Use Young Nureyev Foresta on a statement armchair, sofa or ottoman where its deep green tone can anchor a room. Pair it with warm wood, aged brass or pale neutral walls to keep the dark velvet from feeling flat.

A deep forest-green velvet that brings tonal depth and a softly luxurious finish to upholstered seating.

Young Nureyev Foresta 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.
