Rie Ink

Atelier Fabrics FabricHAF0323-02

Rie Ink is a deep, cool blue woven fabric patterned with closely packed elongated leaf shapes, each picked out by an irregular ivory line. The strong contrast gives the surface a graphic, almost hand-drawn rhythm.

About this fabric

The ink-blue ground reads saturated and slightly softened by the visible weave, while the pale outlines keep each narrow leaf motif distinct. At 252 gsm and 137 cm usable width, this is a versatile mid-weight textile suited to both upholstery and drapery. Its pattern repeats every 32 cm vertically and 45.7 cm horizontally, creating a consistent vertical flow across the cloth. The supplied specification also records 38 threads per cm, complementing the fine, closely textured surface visible in the swatch.

How to use it

Use this cool ink colourway to add depth to a pale room through a reading chair, bench or pair of cushions, or let the repeated vertical pattern run through relaxed curtains. Balance its crisp ivory tracery with warm timber, chalky neutrals or brushed metal.

The cool, high-contrast ink-blue and ivory pattern brings crisp rhythm to upholstered seating, cushions and full-length curtains.

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.
