Lava FR Rosso

Name: Lava FR Rosso
Brand: Porter & Stone

Shimmer FR Fabric

Lava FR Rosso combines a warm, deep rosso ground with a crackled abstract overlay and a subtle metallic flicker. The result feels bold and textural, with the pattern reading clearly without losing the fabric’s rich depth.

About this fabric

This Shimmer FR colourway pairs 93% polyester with 7% lurex, giving the surface a soft shimmer that lifts the darker red lines against the warmer neutral ground. The 140cm width makes it practical for both upholstery and drapery applications, while the 35.5cm vertical by 36cm horizontal repeat creates a confident, medium-scale pattern rhythm. Visually, the design reads as distressed and layered rather than flat, with the lurex catching the light in a way that adds movement to the deep rosso tones. It has a smart, slightly dramatic look that works well where you want pattern and sheen to feel integrated rather than overly decorative.

How to use it

Use this red and neutral palette to anchor a scheme with taupe upholstery, dark wood and aged brass. It is especially effective in rooms that need a richer accent, as the metallic threads give the colour extra lift in daylight.

Use it for tailored upholstery or lined drapery where the lurex glint can catch the light.

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.
