Sparta FR Amethyst

Flavia FR Fabric

Sparta FR Amethyst is a tightly woven fabric with a fine, speckled surface that reads as deep violet from a distance. Up close, the weave shows tiny flecks of blue, lilac and charcoal that soften the overall tone.

About this fabric

Sparta FR Amethyst from the Flavia FR collection by Porter & Stone is a 140cm-wide fabric with no pattern repeat, making its compact texture feel calm and continuous across larger upholstery pieces. The composition is 65.8% Acrylic and 34.2% Polyester, and the cloth has a practical, upholstery-friendly hand rather than a loose drape. Visually, the colourway sits in a muted amethyst range, with cooler plum and blue notes threaded through the surface and darker charcoal grounding it. The small-scale woven texture gives it a lightly dappled appearance that catches the light without looking shiny or bold.

How to use it

Use this amethyst weave on a sofa, armchair or banquette where you want colour that feels refined rather than bright. It pairs well with smoked timber, pewter finishes and soft grey or deep blue accents.

A compact, multitone weave that brings a rich violet note to tailored seating.

Pairs well with

Sparta FR Amethyst 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.
