Atlas Damson

Misc Fabric

Atlas Damson is a richly shaded plain fabric with a softly mottled surface and a deep plum-red cast. The weave reads close and textural, giving the colour a subdued, cloth-like depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% polyester, Atlas Damson has a 145cm width and no pattern repeat, making it straightforward to plan and cut. The visible surface is a fine, linen-like weave with a gently weathered texture that catches the light unevenly across the cloth. This colourway sits between burgundy and plum, with a dark damson tone that feels warm, saturated and slightly dusky. It has enough structure for upholstery as well as drapery, especially where a richer, moodier surface is wanted. Care instructions are listed as 1<NTQ.

How to use it

Use this damson shade on a tailored armchair, headboard or layered curtains where you want colour without shine. It works especially well with walnut, aged brass and soft neutrals that let the plum depth stand out.

Pair this rich damson with warm woods and dark metals for a grounded, polished look.

Atlas Damson 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.
