Mishima Denim

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.

Mishima Denim is a cool, grounded blue colourway with a closely packed angular weave. Fine pale and flax-toned threads lift the surface, giving the cloth depth without losing its calm denim character.

About this fabric

Mishima Denim combines a muted denim-blue ground with pale blue-grey and warm flax-coloured lines in a tightly repeating geometric weave. Small linked, angled motifs create an even all-over texture, while the lighter threads catch across the surface rather than reading as a flat solid. At 679 gsm and 140 cm usable width, it has a substantial specification suited to upholstery. The pattern repeats every 18.3 cm vertically and 23.3 cm horizontally, keeping the directional geometry clear across a larger upholstered piece.

How to use it

Use this cool, slightly softened blue on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard, where its small-scale geometry can add structure without overwhelming the room. Balance it with chalky neutrals, natural oak and warm flax tones that pick up the lighter threads in the weave.

Pair this cool denim-blue geometric weave with pale woods, warm neutrals and aged brass.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Mishima Denim without fighting it. 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.
