Karst Tourmaline

About this fabric

This Harlequin Defined Momentum Velvet has a substantial 732gsm weight and a 140cm usable width, making it particularly suitable for upholstered furniture. The face is visually dense, with narrow vertical channels and subtle tonal variation rather than a bold printed motif. Its 1.5cm vertical and 1cm horizontal pattern repeats keep the texture discreet and easy to position across a piece. The warm caramel-brown shade reads grounded and inviting, while the velvet surface adds a gentle, polished glow.

How to use it

Use Karst Tourmaline on a tailored armchair, sofa or headboard where its warm ochre-brown tone can anchor cream, tobacco and dark timber finishes. The fine vertical texture adds interest without competing with patterned cushions or decorative woodwork.

A weighty caramel-brown velvet with fine vertical ribbing, well suited to tailored upholstery and statement seating.

Pairs well with

Karst Tourmaline 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.
