Orpheus Gold

Misc Fabric

Orpheus Gold is a softly glowing gold colourway with a fine woven texture that reads warm and tailored. The small repeating pattern gives the surface a neat, quietly decorative rhythm.

About this fabric

Woven in 18% cotton chenille, 47% cotton and 35% polyester, this 140cm-wide fabric has a compact 2.5cm pattern repeat and a pleasantly tactile finish. The gold tone is muted rather than brassy, with an antique warmth that softens the tiny geometric weave. In the light, the raised texture catches just enough sheen to lift the surface without making it glossy. It feels best suited to seating where a smart, understated pattern is wanted.

How to use it

Use Orpheus Gold on a compact armchair, dining seat pads or a tailored headboard where the warm gold can add depth without overpowering the room. It pairs especially well with dark wood, ochre, moss and aged brass.

Pair with walnut, tobacco leather and deep olive for a warm, tailored look.

Orpheus Gold 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.
