CASPIAN Velvet - Laurustine

fabric Velvet1-FA-CPN-VE-LAU-XXX-XXX

CASPIAN Velvet in Laurustine pairs a mossy olive ground with sweeping near-black stripes. The velvet pile catches the light unevenly, bringing depth to the animal-inspired pattern.

About this fabric

Laurustine is a deep, muted olive velvet with a softly reflective pile that shifts between moss, khaki and near-black green as the light moves across it. Broad, irregular dark stripes form a dense, tiger-like organic pattern, while smaller rippling marks give the surface a layered, fluid rhythm. As a velvet, it has the substantial, tactile character associated with upholstery. Its earthy green ground keeps the high-contrast motif grounded rather than bright.

How to use it

Use Laurustine on a statement armchair, sofa or headboard where its moss-olive depth and dark, flowing stripes can become the room’s focal point. Pair it with aged timber, charcoal accents and warm neutral walls to reinforce its earthy, theatrical character.

A richly tactile olive velvet for statement upholstery, with dramatic dark organic striping.

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.
