About this fabric

Woven in a 56% cotton and 44% polyester blend, Alchemy Rosso has a tactile, slightly slubbed handle that gives the colour extra movement. The fabric reads as a deep red with warm ruby notes, while the sheen lifts the raised areas and leaves the troughs looking richer and darker. With a 140cm width and no pattern repeat, it works cleanly across both tailored upholstery and elegant curtains. The overall effect is bold and polished rather than flat, with the texture adding depth to the solid colour.

How to use it

Use this crimson tone to bring a focal accent to upholstered chairs, a ottoman, or statement drapes against dark wood and brass. It pairs especially well with charcoal, walnut and muted gold for a rich, layered room.

A rich crimson that adds drama and warmth to both seating and drapery.

Pairs well with

Alchemy Rosso 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.
