Florio Ink

The house has discontinued this one. We are keeping the page so the link still works, but we can no longer order it. There are alternatives below, and if you have a cutting or a photograph we will help you match it.

Florio Ink is a deep, almost-black blue woven fabric with a quietly rippling surface. Fine horizontal lines move across the face, giving the dark colour subtle visual depth rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The face combines an ink-blue ground with closely spaced, irregular horizontal lines that resemble soft waves in the weave. Its 370gsm weight gives the cloth a substantial presence, while the 142cm usable width is practical for both upholstery and drapery applications. The design is specified with a 6cm vertical repeat and a 140cm horizontal repeat, creating a restrained linear rhythm across larger cuts. A standard length of 30m supports coordinated use across more than one element in a scheme.

How to use it

Use Florio Ink to add cool, near-black blue depth to a tailored chair, sofa or headboard, then repeat the shade in dark-painted joinery or accessories. As drapery, its fine linear texture will catch changing daylight without losing the colourway’s moody intensity.

The near-black ink-blue tone brings depth to upholstery and frames light beautifully when used for full-length drapery.

Pairs well with

Florio Ink 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.
