Name: Perplex Ink

Perplex Ink presents a deep ink-blue ground crossed by closely spaced pale lines in a precise vertical chevron formation. The dark tone gives the pattern depth, while the lighter threads catch the light across the woven surface.

About this fabric

This substantial 605gsm fabric has a dense, structured appearance suited to upholstery. Its narrow geometric repeat measures 4.1cm vertically by 8.6cm horizontally, creating a fine herringbone effect that reads as crisp rather than decorative. The 131.5cm usable width offers practical coverage, and the fabric is supplied in standard 35m lengths. With 71 threads per centimetre, the closely woven surface gives Perplex Ink a refined, tailored character.

How to use it

Pair the deep ink-blue ground with warm ivory, smoked oak and brushed metal for a smart, graphic scheme. On a sofa, headboard or dining chair, the pale chevrons bring linear movement without overwhelming the dark colour.

Use this deep ink blue geometric weave on tailored upholstery, where its pale chevron lines add crisp definition.

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.
